Corvette Raffle at Sunset — Image by kenne

The sun lowers behind Tucson,
softening the edges of everything—
even hope.

Tickets crinkle in warm hands,
paper prayers folded small.

The Tucson Greek Festival hums—
music, language, memory—
while the car gleams,
a quiet altar
to chance.

Corvette Raffle at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church Tucson Greek Festival — Image by kenne

With so many leaves, the sun waves good day
with many stands shines, shines the sky
and those ones inn irons and those others are in the earth.

Quiet anytime now, the church bells will signal.

This earth is theirs and ours.

Beneath the earth in their crossed arms
they hold the rope of the church bells,
they are awaiting the hour, waiting to signal the resurrection
this earth is theirs and ours
no one can take it from us

Quiet anytime now, the church bells will signal.

— from The Church Bells Will Signal by Yiannis Ritsos
