“Είναι κάτι νύχτες, που τ' αστέρια κατεβαίνουνε χαμηλά.
Που λιώνει το φεγγάρι και νοτίζει την ψυχή σου.
Είναι κάτι νύχτες, που όλα σιγοτραγουδούν. Ακόμα κι οι πέτρες. Και τα ξερά κλαδιά.
Αυτές τις νύχτες προτιμά να σε θυμάται η μοναξιά σου.
Κι έρχεται ακάλεστη. Χωρίς να χτυπήσει ούτε καν την πόρτα, να ρωτήσει αν δέχεσαι επισκέψεις. Χωρίς να κρατά η αφιλότιμη, ούτ' ένα λουλουδάκι. Ούτ' ένα γλυκό, μπας και σε ξεγελάσει.
Θρονιάζεται στην ψυχή σου κι ανάβει προκλητικά το τσιγαράκι της.
«Αυτάααα! Πού είχαμε μείνει;»
Σου λέει μ' όλο το θράσος της και σε κοιτά κατάματα.”
― Alkyoni Papadaki
