Takis Papatsonis

Hestia

MY ENTERING your home, entering of friendship is,

visiting friendship. The first door's

passageway, alone, disposes me there to.

The small garden's sight, hail

the first. The inside door's opening, my entering

and again behind me the closing, is the definitive

passageway between the unstable and the well stable.

The tepid streams in the half darkness that welcome me

are the messages of a warm heart, that somewhere inside

beats, beating awaits. The meeting

with your kin, who equally are my kin

shows the brotherhood. Without caresses.

Nor embraces. Nor kisses.

But everything exists, it belongs to the soul. Blessed

were the hours under your roof ordered to me.

You reserve for the end the great gift,

your advent, our meeting, which, if it were outside of

the mystic luxury of your house, it would be

like an indecent thing, not the congruent

with your being - a being of the Hestia, not of the open air.
