Waiting in vain For the advice of the deceased
Poems
At unexpected moments I have the urge to write down a thought that insistently comes
to the conscious. Later on, this thought is processed and takes a form. I concluded that I
write due to a need for expression but also due to a need for communication. This
collection of poems is the first complete effort to communicate with a larger number of
people. To be honest with you, I fear this development.
Having major deficiencies in philological issues, it is not easy for me to classify this
work in a literary form. I chose to classify it as poetry since it seems to me that poetry is
broad enough to embrace many forms of expression. I assume that it can also embrace
mine.
I decided to also use the surname Avgerakis to honor an unknown ancestor who came
from Crete and married in Kesani of Eastern Thrace.
I dedicate my work to the persons that I loved. Fortunately for me, they were many.
Dimitris Nalbantis Avgerakis February 1995

EYES
The sky turned gray
and the changes became apparent
in the shapes and colors
and my thoughts
Is it true, I asked
that the eyes are getting old
they harden and they dim
and they lose their voice?
[10]

A PLEA
Help me,
protect me from humanity
take me away from their bigotry
I do not want to be shaped.
Fire and screams
in all my dreams
and the nights are without dawn.
[12]
; . .
ENDLESS EUPHORIA
So what if our days are bitter
and our nights merciless?
We already covered the distance
between the conscious and the unconscious.
Nothing will be capable to upset
the illusion of our endless euphoria.

RUINS
Ruins that I loved
among the trees,
loose fragments
from old marble
forever tied
to their time
What is to remain
of the condominiums?
[16]
, .
UNAPPROACHABLE TRUTH
How expensive is the truth,
although I vastly spent for mine
it still remains unapproachable.
[17]
, .
, , .
DREAM OF THE LAST SPRING
Find a clean corner for me
all I can and all I wish
give it all to me one night.
One of these springs,
one of these dreams,
will be the last one.
[18]
, , .
THE RED OF FIRE
The fire does not frighten me
I am not afraid of the pain
it is only the red,
this formidable color,
that awakens my flesh
and then it dries it
as life evaporates
though my pores.

FEAR OF DEATH
Do not embitter your life
with the farcical fears of death
that will come, that comes, that arrived.
[21]
;
NEMESIS OF FELLOW HUMANS
How can we escape
from the rage of people
that wasted their lives
reducing their passions
to the measure of today?
[22]
;
OBLIGATION TO LOVE
Tireless lover of humanity
do you really have to love us?
[23]

DESTINIES OF GIRLS
Girls do not dream
do not be misled by the graces.
Because the pain of alienation
cannot be rationalized,
because the Christmas ornaments
brake irrespective of color
and our sharp quill
pierces the young female earlobes
to put on earrings.

WHO WILL DIE FIRST
I have seen this city once before
the streets are narrow, the buildings are tall
the light hardly reaches the walkways
the young emerge from the coffee shops full of certainties
and they talk and they play
who is the one that will die first?
I have seen this city once before
rotten are its rulers
and its subjects even more so
they talk and they play
who is the one that will die first?
And me, I am sinking into their games
and I talk and I play
which one of us, is the one that will die first?

END OF PASSION
How did our passion reach to that,
in front of the machine that counts
in front of the machine that computes
in front of the machine that decides?
[30]

CHANGE OF RESIDENCE
Unsure about the certainties he had up to now
he moved hesitantly
and opened the small locker.
He saw nothing, and he was relieved
the uncertainty has changed residence.

THE SMALL APPLE OF DISCORD
Proud for the superiority of her gender
she said:
I will fight for the small apple of discord. The big one is already taken by the men.

WINGS ON THE SHOULDERS
Do not place wings on your shoulders
you will be scared by the curvature of the earth.

HUMAN QUALITY
He looked at his diplomas on the wall
resting comfortably inside the beautiful frames
and the others, the more colorful,
certificates of seminar attendance.
His eyes stopped
on the four principles of quality
white letters on a blue background
behind the glass armor,
on the pictures
depicting the congratulations he received
from the managers of his managers.
Content, he thought:
I therefore fulfill all the criteria of success
and I am certain that
(although this is not easy to prove)
I have the best human qualities.
