WILDFLOWERS AMONGST ANCIENT RUINS



Red wildflowers
amongst  the ancient ruins
and I, somewhere there
I get up and knock rattles
I fancy up myself
with blossoming buds
ignoring winters and autumns
I dream of a flame-burning summer
Joy blooms in ancient temples
in the sunlight
The gray marble
reflects a strange youth
through its ravages  ...
with purple splotches
-against time-
the poppies all over there


Doric form reminding
the debt for the beauty of simplicity
Apollon Oh!
Agamemnon Oh!
Clytemnestra Oh!
You swing majestic for centuries 
between the columns,
Operators of the Passion
which drips the spring ...
Watering Harmony
with pain and blood

And most of all
the terrible Erinyes wuthering for ever 
on the peaks of the cypresses ...
