Read the years away,   the absolute departures   and the mistaken choices.     Read life as a story   the same for every child,   read my hands as they move in narration   and all the unknown you haven't yet met.     And read a fall   wrecked at first attempt   but reworked;   read a fall that happens   without hurting.     Learn, first of all, to fall.     April 2016,    Piraeus.
