We’ve been made
of salt
& the dance of the waves.
We’ve been fed
by the fire’s prose
under a transparent sky.
We’ve seen pastoral lands
rising
from the vision of a simple life.
How can I possibly write about the affections of the atmosphere?
I’ve bitten my lips twice
for the metallic taste
of my mind dipping into the clouds.
Exposed to air & sun
our forgiven frustrations
now climb mountains steep.
I’ve been looking with a child’s eyes
the island
devouring
the horizon afar.
There are things we do
things that keep us on foam above;
things for the quality of life.
April-May 2022,
Samothraki.
