Coffee time

If these walls could talk

They would greet

Those weary eyes

Those agitated footsteps

Those inconvenient buggy pushers

They would prompt

Rest here and take in my silence

Sip by sip

Like a spicy bitter strong filter coffee.

Or would you rather if my displaced anticipation had no filter?

As a wall, i can’t talk, i can only echo.

That’s even worse for you isn’t it?

If these walls could talk they wouldn’t throw us back that echo!

Time for the Narcissus to dive in the deep

Spicy bitter strong negotiations

With no filter

Ιούλιος 2022, Οι εξισώσεις

Εκδοχές

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

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
