The missing head

“The headless statue, set up

in the middle of the hall I look.

From feet to neck,

I study the details:

the bent somewhat knee,

the stretched hand, chest muscles.

 

I change position and distance.

I admire the whole body.

And I'm waiting

from one moment to the next

(great the power of the imagination, when art helps in this),

incomparably adding beauty,

in the place where it is missing,

to be seen wonderful,

Apollonian head."

 

Athos Dimoulas, "At the Museum"
