When They Have Come (for Cavafy) (1986)
 

I’ve seen the signs in city streets
They’re getting stronger each day
With evil thoughts and evil deeds
They have such animal ways
Independence will cease
When they have come
No escape from the beast
When they have come
Sons and their fathers
Will die by their swords
When they have come
Mothers and daughters
All turned into whores
When they have come
leave your possessions
Just stand up and fight
Fight for your lives
I’ve locked the door, I’ve barred the gate
Who knows when they might appear
I never sleep, i sit and wait
They might already be here
