English

Broken

heart:

“I have something to say

to all the fragments

and the disintegration

Do not despair

When language breaks

it is

because it tries to regather its pieces

reinvent their order

and how they glue together

When language breaks

it is

because

-like an egg-

a little chick is about to come out

preparing to learn

preparing to see

preparing to sing

Preparing

fly

It’s the same when I break

If i survive

I will become a different heart

beating

supporting

expressing

my Love

to it which broke me

and to that whichwouldneverdothat”

Mysterious dyad

February 9, 2020February 9, 2020 tzelikazoumpouli

From afar they looked like a slow cyclone,

a repetitive melancholic sound

that knows,

but is still looking for something

That is hiding,

but is still revealing itself

From afar they looked like a paced gradual approach

Of warmth and war

Of tiredness and guilt

The mother with the buggy

Women

March 8, 2019February 7, 2020 tzelikazoumpouli

Curved

pillar

reflecting on the wall

Looks like a woman

still

stubborn

saddened

By the sudden realisation:

Pillars this time of day

On the walls

Of pretty fences

Of cosy houses

Could easily hide

Battled battered compromised egos

of women

still

shattered

serene

who look their shade from the road

and know:

Walls of pretty fences

of cosy houses

only deceptively reflect

the women on the road

Saddened

shattered

stubborn

Still serene

Still strong

Τα “θ” δυο θαλασσών

November 7, 2018March 7, 2019 tzelikazoumpouli

“Θ” όπως θα πάμε. \Θα έρθει ο καιρός και θα ξαναφύγει και θα ξαναέρθει.

Όπως Θαρραλέος.

Θεός και Θήκη.

“Θ” όπως Θαμαςβρειξανατοπρωινοαστρομαςνααρμενιζουμε.

.\Τα άλλα Θ του Θανάτου και των Θάφτηκα αψήφησέ τα.

Είναι από άλλη Θάλασσα.

Αλλά μόνο κράτα του ενδιαμέσου

ένα ακόμα.

Θυμάμαι.

Aristotle’s train

October 22, 2018 tzelikazoumpouli

Choo choo

as we pass across green valleys and

blue

skies

We see children dreaming and

birds singing

Couples holding hands;

and we see doubts

sitting

down

on the grass

It is going to rain, you tell me

Choo choo

As we pass across red

anemones

in smokey lands

We see sheep

waiting

crows

approaching

old men despairing

And we lose our

reasoning

in the raindrops

We are going to make

the world better, you tell me

Choo choo

and I believe you.
