On an island they lived longest
who took tiny breaths and waited
rising and falling in the same motion
today I can't explain that with this
so let's please start with a garden
and with the insects they named
they lived there in a simple house
ακίνητος but couldn't recognise it
lacking a certain classical education
still they came armed with bread
(and this was very long ago now)
the centenarians caring for children
flowing from warm hives like a breeze
who looked first at the state of my clothes
and then addressed my hunger.
oh, beautiful!
ReplyDeleteFor especially everyone here, Efi, but especially for you.
Deleteah! thank you, Rob
ReplyDeleteI've been there a very long time ago, the Aegean islands are just wonderful, glad to have the opportunity to remeber such beauty! ... it somehow addresses my own hunger ...
ReplyDeleteHa. My good feeling, you feeling good, Beatrice. The worst of hunger is that it's endless; the best of it I guess is that good food is on the way. Thank you for listening!
Deletevery nice, reminds me of family history!
