But rejection knows
There is no villain
Just the hand
That turns the light out at night
But rejection ⋮ at night.
Kore. Ydro., taken from their song “Handshake / Gay Anthem for the New Millennium” (2006)
Μα η απόρριψη το ξέρει
Πως δεν υπάρχει κακός
Υπάρχει μόνο ένα χέρι
Που μας σβήνει τη νύχτα το φως
Translated for (and taken from) the essay “Our Army of Lovers” by Mare Spanoudaki that appeared in Issue One (“The Cultural and Political Memory of HIV”) of Octopus, the EMST magazine.
