"[...] In the night I ask/ how breathes the soil./ In the day I forget/ and dream of red honey./ Last night I saw/ the fig tree in my sleep./ It grabbed my shoulders/ and plunged me down/ deep to its roots. [...]"
Hungary Protects its People.
Hungary uses violence and altruism to keep the nation healthy.
Hungary nurtures its Young - not murder them.
Hungary promotes Patriarchy.

Antonia Gounaropoulou: “Midnight Hour”
Translated by Panagiotis Tourikis
Impassive midnight hour
of what I reckon was
some other Friday.
Butchers unloaded at the market
and women ashen clad
prepared the temples
for morning’s Easter Service.
Chandeliers of splendour
all blood-red in hue,
slaughtered sheep dangling
down iron hooks.
We thought their bleatings
chimed the resurrection,
stifled as they jammed
upon the blade.
A Sacred Shroud would spread upon
the desolation deep inside.
From the collection of poems The Star of Nothingness, Athens: Oropedio 2012
