Poem by Kiki Dimoula
YESTERDAY
He came back
dressed in the shade of the undefined.
His eyes a sea-floor without a surface
his lips the incision of mystery
his words a vague deck of cards
that flop to one side or the other
his body an incense
and his hair drenched in youth
his laughter the ruin of souls
he hid the wind inside him
that ripped my paper dreams
my tomorrow cried inside me
long time has gone by
since I received the communion of his loss
in a glass gold-plated by autumn
when I covered his picture with the twilight
and I locked up my songs
for a long time that we’ve forgotten each other.
He came back
a day when we unearthed the parchment of our memory
and signed a godly continuance
since we loved each other.
Yesterday we went our separate ways.
