I
Your lips had
a familiar taste
of bitter almond.
II
In the mirror
a wheatish face
only reminding of summers past.
III
We let go
in dark waters
idle.
IV
The salt burnt
your skin
& my heart.
V
Time
repeated itself
always late in the afternoon.
VI
The mountain
deluged with light
eternal.
VII
Fires broke out
without a reason
endlessly.
VIII
Black cats
marched the lanes
like a conquering army.
IX
We were all waiting
for something
or someone.
X
A night sky’s traffic
busy with stars
& airplanes.
XI
We danced up to the sunrise
our bodies
suddenly younger.
XII
Your memoirs
were dense
& secret.
XIII
The land still stood
across
remote & immobile.
Summer 2022,
Samothraki.
