YANNIS RITSOS ON LEMNOS
The military colonels
exile the thirst
for freedom
Yannis remembering
his twenty first birthday
in a fervor
of fevered expression
yet you suffer
working on islands
from life's painful images
amid political repression
your language amazes
as you write in silence
Yannis Ritsos
survives on Lemnos.
