Miltos Sachtouris

AUTUMN

What’s the girl looking for
in the darkness of the chair?
quickly
as night falls in autumn
she undresses
with clouds before her eyes
with the rain inside her head
with the needle in her heart
she removes the stockings
removes the flowers
discards the halo

outside the time’s leaves
are dyed in blood

discards the halo
