Εκδοχές

tzelikazoumpouli

Η πρώτη εκδοχή μια πάλη με την Ανατολή

Εκεί που τα ηλιοτρόπια ανακατευθυνονται

Και τα ελαιοτριβεία στάζουν άρωμα λιωμένης γης

Η δεύτερη μια σκέψη στο κρεββάτι

Και ένα τεμπέλικο ας ξανακοιμηθω με αυτη την αναβλητικοτητα για νανουρισμα

Και η τρίτη τουλάχιστον αν αποτυπωθεί κάτι θα μείνει από την αντανάκλαση και την Ηχώ

Του μεγάλου ονόματος

Τα ολοκληρώματα, July 2022

Time

tzelikazoumpouli

Time for me is not measured in minutes or hours

But in breastfeeds,

nappy changes and

Naps

I don’t think of today, tomorrow or the day after as separate

They are all a big chunk of time

But seasons and years, oh my

Become the painful and miraculous realisation

Of how much my children have grown

And – alas-I have also grown

They don’t fit into their clothes anymore

And their shoes are too small

They form personality and intentionality

I have to leave some assumption about me and them behind

And when it comes to endings and beginnings

They teach me not to think of these as separate either

But to think of them as one hungry caterpillar

Who chases its tail in spiral motions

Geometry, March 2022

I wanted

tzelikazoumpouli

I wanted to tell you about the blue skies

The summer kiss

And the seas of our dreams

I wanted to tell you about me

And you and us

But instead

I have been consuming myself with trivial questions

Like have- you – eaten, are – you – cold, how- was – nursery today

Oh how long it takes

To become a better mother of you

And myself
