Dimitris P. Kraniotis [Greece]

Ideals

Snow-covered mountains,
Ancient monuments
A north wind that nods to us
A thought that flows
Images imbued
With hymns of history
Words on signs
With ideals of geometry

Denials

A roar of cars
Seals the dawn
With short-cut answers
With unyielding denials
That are repeated
Explicitly
Every sunset

Limits

Fragments of glasses
In the empty room
Of the inarticulate whispers
Bleed
Our limits
Fill
With sores
The caress of our soul
