The earth of Curium quaked amid <br />As we indulged in a love, then slipped <br />A deadly pillar that put us to sleep <br />Absent, still present and now redeemed. <br /> <br />Look! In the light, two embraces now one, indeed! <br /> <br /> ** <br />Here, in Choirokoitia, both buried as one <br />Under the floor of our house, woman and man, <br />With a boulder on our chests the burial was done <br />A seed, from which we grow to become a plant. <br /> <br />Look! Two embraces became one, under the sun! <br /> <br /> ** <br />The verse, is a root spreading through the soil, <br />Offering to leaves the juice of love, for body and soul, <br />Up flying oxygen, upwards in clouds then down as rain, <br />Up and down on Cupid’s very wings, again and again. <br /> <br /> <br />Translation: Andis Panayiotou-Hadjiodysseos<br /><br />Joseph S.
