Yannis Ritsos: A Selection from the Forties 75 AFTERNOON The afternoon is all fallen plaster, black stones, dried thorns. The afternoon has a difficult color made of old footsteps left halfway made of old buried jugs in the yard, and on them tiredness and grass. Two dead men, five dead men, twelve — how many, how many. Each hour has its dead. Behind the windows stand those missing and the pitcher with the water they didn't drink. And that star that fell at the edge of the night is like the cut off ear that doesn't hear the crickets that doesn't hear our excuses — doesn't deign to hear our songs — alone, alone, alone, cut off, indifferent to condemnation or justification. 1946-1947
