Peace
Committees
Writen
in St Nicolas Naoussa Springs 13th of May 2022
In Peace
Committees war reports,
heated
solidarity, unspoken oppositions,
in times of war
imprisoned
opinions, anonymous statements
scared publications
in peaceful countries and free newspapers
I will NOT
choose which bomb I like best
- who’s
destroying my earth, my water, my air -
I choose the
people who are suffering
by both sides!
Always!
How much river
how many
springs
how much more light
to fight
injustice...
Pathways
Through The Past
Points of
reference
Tunnels
Castles
Walls
metallic
monsters
Broken days
memories aren’t
gifted
streets are
blocking
all happiness.
Lightning
Out Of The Blue
I open the
memories
That cloud
finds me
That has always
been over
the city I
lived in,
to remind me
that I was looking
for the hands
that lifted me up,
the embraces
that were far away,
and I would hit
my head every morning
in the parallel
life
in the corners
of the paper attic
that was
dripping with misery,
when it rained
and I'm still
looking for the companionship,
by the huts, by
the streams
with the
tablecloths lying on the grass
and the true
glances of people
who have left
far too soon...
