<p>The chorus arrives, here, the entrance to the village, <br /> susurration, elm leaves, stillness, a summons, <br /> Beside the big stone, water <br /> babble of voices, waiting ones, <br /> Penelopes of Xanthogeia, <br /> Rousilvo, living, dead, <br /> Oblivion willed on the unwillingly. <br /> Mirka the teacher breathes yet <br /> and you Natsko never old enough to love <br /> death <br /> mourning, prescribed in silence <br /> homecoming to unbelonging. <br /> In the sequestered minds of the men of substance, ashes and blood, <br /> and looming, there in the snow, Kaimaktsalan, custodian of bones. <br /> Implacable grief, oxygen cannot be bartered <br /> And now, what lips are left to mouth the song of freedom? <br /> <br /> Only ligering echoes of the melody of the forbidden<span class="bcTruncateMore"> language <br /> and undaunted dancing to songs without words. <br /> Sometimes, once in a while <br /> comfort to our ears, the stealthy significance of the unwritten, <br /> like some secret, dignified in silence <br /> liquid lamentations over the graves of our forbears <br /> where we mutes have just bid farewell, <br /> and the villages, where behind us we left <br /> bewildered windows and doors gaping in the wind <br /> without crier or priest, or a pitcher for the spring.</span><span>  </span></p>
