the week ends
the century ends
the millennium ends
cycles close
cycles open
travelers to galaxies
(microscales, macroscales)
make the moments unbearable
adolescence persists
in spite of all the confusion
in spite of all the insolence
outlet to old age
apprehension for the unavoidable
and the ones who have crossed the river and
...........speak from the side of darkness
and see specks
conflagrations, flames
recoiling, turbulence
chimeras, flesh, agonies, pleasures
neither consolation
............companionship
............hope
............homesickness
.
so many answers (platitudes)
the luxury of obedience
..................of disaster
perhaps lighthearted insouciance
and like
instructions iterated a thousand times
and the intention underestimates the discovery
it does not erase the road and the borders
and from the start
silence would be the easiest solution.
Demosthenes Agrafiotis
