ƑƑƑ.4

τεχνολόγοι
ταριχευτές
φυλακώνουν τὸ μέσα τους ζωντανό
τὸ κατατέμνουν
τὸ ξαναρράβουν σέ χίμαιρα
τὸ ἐκτρέφουν μ' ἁλάτι καὶ ξύδι
τὸ ντύνουν μὲ πετσὶ κοκαλωμένο
τ' ὀνομάζουν Ἀθανασία ἢ Γνώση ἢ Ἀέναο Τέλος
τὸ ὑψώνουν εἴδωλο ἄφωνο στὸ σκοτεινό του βάθρο
τὸ ὑμνοῦν μὲ ὀνόματα βλασφημίας

ἀποχωροῦν στὸ οὐρλιαχτό

technologists
taxidermists
imprison their inner living thing
they cut it up
they sew it again into a chimaera
they breed it with salt and vinegar
they dress it with ossified skin
they name it Immortality or Knowledge or Endless End
they raise it as dumb idol on its murky pedestal
they praise it with blasphemous names

they are leaving for the howl
