Οι εξισώσεις, October 2012, The equations

The stars of the sea

She went towards the edge,

she looked over here, she searched over there,

she saw all the names on the boats

and the waves in people,

she looked up in the sky and these did not lit up

She flew towards the cliff,

she palpated all that she found over here and

and all that she discovered over there,

she touched all the meanings and the thorns

and the steps in the marsh

Only when she was ready to go

she saw their bright reflections

and she realized which ones were her own

real stars

Women

Masculine soul

in a woman’s body

And aggressive “No”

meaning

Surrendering “Yes”

Strong “I am starting all over again’

hiding

helpless “I am dying”

And all my ropes

still looking for these roots

From generation to generation

Pride was all what these women did

All that

the undervalued  women achieved

With the hoarse voice

and the loose trousers

sweetly torturing the body

With its memories

And the small breast

within its unsatisfying refuge

feeding with no mercy

Whoever homeless

is in need

of

Maternal masculine

Protection

Οι εξισώσεις, July 2012, The equations

Wisdom

My barmy spear fell heavily

In Thames’ arms

And your bygone wisdom

Could not catch it

Sunday visitors found it in the bottom

They collected it like a touristic souvenir

Of Wisdom

Better these innocent strangers

that dared to capture my truth

Than my everlasting knowing ones

that could not vow me a lie

I won’t be looking for familiar shores

for my meaningful yesterdays

I will only torture the estuaries

of the infinite today

Purely

Like Wisdom
