DICROTON ON STEMS (translation)

DICROTON ON STEMS

Very close to the citrus evenings the proud sacrificial lambs loom. They button and unbutton the velvet treasure of their belts. They sow hazelnuts capture partridges display rags of precious filament cry out for love underneath glass domes.

— Andreas Embirikos, from ΥΨΙΚΑΜΙΝΟΣ (1935), tr. by C. A. Corbell
