ANNA MAVROIDI

 

 

In The Interval

 

In the interval

 

between two parallel worlds

 

day after day...

 

 

I wait for you at the gate

 

wearing a black trench coat.

 

With my face veiled,

 

so I won’t unsettle you.

 

 

Be still.

 

 

Only a white rose

 

will pierce you gently

 

in the silence.

 

Expectations

 

True lines carve the sand—

 

palpable traces

 

of summer.

 

 

As the foot sinks slowly,

 

expectations fade

 

beneath the blazing sun.

 

 

Far off,

 

a ship shimmers into sight,

 

heavy with despairing souls.
