Dimitris P. Kraniotis, Greece
THE END
The savour of fruits
Still remains
In my mouth
But the bitterness of words
Demolishes the clouds
And wrings the snow
Counting the pebbles
But you never told me
Why you deceived me
Why with pain
And injustice did you desire
ILLUSIONS
Noiseless wrinkles
On our forehead
The frontiers of history
Shed oblique glances
At Homer’s verses
Illusions
Full of guilt
Redeem
Wounded whispers
That became echoes
In lighted caves
Of the fools and the innocent
SINFUL CORNERS
“St. Nikon Repent-Υe!”
On the calendar
Of a cloudy morning
With the rain to persist
Determined to wash away
The Erinyes of guilts
Victories and defeats
In sinful corners
Of pavements and rooms
Of minor moments
And of similar, too
