A year or so
time flies
but we are
grounded.
A year or so
ships sailing away
and we were waving
goodbye every single day.
A year or so
this place will
never again be just a port
it has never been.
A year or so
with amplified gaze
and a burning
heart.
Today and tomorrow
wherever I stand
there is a haima* over my head and a heema** above it.
And I keep thinking
that Mira and Zahra are growing up
for better or for
worse
away from Piraeus.
27 April
2017,
Dundee.
*Arabic
word for tent.
**Arabic
word for moon.
