What
it feels like to watch the ferry sail from ashore an island remote
urged to absorb and write about all;
the smallness of the houses
the vastness of the stars
the firmness of the mountain
and the thriving sun
the stove warmth
the cricket songs
the raven flights
the goat bells
from within the heights;
what it is like looking for the winter
in the uncanny light of the dusk
and wanting to stop, eat up the day, and again start.
Once, I walked at night in the dark
crossing the ancient forest
and ever since
I walk, the forest every night.
Samothraki,
November 2024.
