Η εκδρομή
Η εκδρομή. Σώπασαν και περιμέναν σήκωσαν το κεφάλι από το προσκέφαλο ν ακούσουν. Ήρθαν πέντε άνθρωποι έτρεχαν στο δρόμο. Πέντε παληκάρια έτρεχαν φώναζαν με πανικό πέρασαν κι έφυγαν φώναζαν και χάθηκαν. Άναψαν τα παράθυρα κι οι πόρτες οι αυλές. Βγήκαν έξω ρωτώντας. Ο πόλεμος. Φώναξαν κι έτρεξαν στους δρόμους. Πού. Πού. Στην πλατεία. Φώναξαν κι έτρεξαν. Στην πλατεία όλα σβηστά και μια φωτεινή επιγραφή καιμια μπάντα παίζει μουσική.

About the author
Giorgos Heimonas
15 books25 followersGreek: Γιώργος Χειμωνάς
Giorgos Heimonas is widely recognized in Greece and abroad as a major force in post-modern Greek writing. While a few of his works have hitherto appeared translated into several European languages, the publication of the full range of his work in Robert Crist’s English translation is a pioneering event. Heimonas’s narratives are famous for their dynamic appeal – their amazing originality, unique style, psychological depth, and poetic power, as well as their impact on readers' feelings and challenge their interpretive capacity. Heimonas’s unique, emotionally-charged narratives reach full development in the major phase from Doctor Ineotis to The Builders. While his early and last writings (Pisistratus, My Journeys & The Enemy of the Poet) contain strong elements of realism, the major period turns to a new mode of language. The style of the texts is neither fiction or poetry in a traditional sense. It is a disrupted language with elements of dream and myth, the lyrical, the philosophical, and depth psychology. It is an original language in every sense of the word – a search for origins, for revisions and new beginnings. Above all, the writer inspires readers to discover renewed resources of insight and feeling in themselves, in literary art, and in in the larger world of human experience.

"Λέει στον γιατρό στις νοσοκόμες. Έρχεστε στην εκδρομή που θα κάνω; Οι νοσοκόμες είπαν όχι είμαστε κουρασμένες. Κατάλαβε πως άλλος ήταν ο λόγος. Σώπασαν και μείναν σκεφτικές. Οι νοσοκόμες απλώνουν τα χέρια αφηρημένες σα να συλλογίζονται. Μετά έφυγε με τον γιατρό και πήγαν στον φερετροποιό και στον δρόμο που πήγαιναν είδαν ένα δέντρο που τους είπε πόσο λυπάμαι κι ένα σπίτι είπε κι εκείνο πόσο λυπάμαι είδαν έναν ψόφιο δράκο που βρωμούσε είδαν ένα άλλο δέντρο ένα νέγρο έναν αέρα."
Πήγα μονάχη εκδρομή κι όμως καθόλου μόνη.
Γοητευμένη.
