Wheat Ears – Selected Poems

Stories

Yes, I couldn’t deny

my promise to mention

my first cousin Antony

best dancer of western Crete

and narrate his sweet story

impossible not to include it

in my recollections

like the beautiful breasts

of the girl I touched

behind the movie theater

in that side street where

we frequented when the bright

lights could reveal

our secret thoughts and

like my distant cousin, who once

jumped from one edge of a ravine

to the other just to defy Death

yes, between the two edges

three meters apart where

just thirty meters lower

Hades’ gaping mouth lurked,

I too dared touch the breast

of the fourteen year old girl

POEM BY KATERINA GOGOU

TROY AVENUE 35A

My house, just like yours

intrudes into the houses of others

since the roads are so narrow

and there are so many people

sometimes I feel we sleep in the same bed

since we are almost glued together

we use the same brush to brush our teeth

and we eat the same food

only when you go

you leave behind your dirty dishes

it can’t be explained otherwise

that the sink is always full

it doesn’t matter though

I do what I can

to show how much I love you

for this I put on the fake moustache

and I go out to the rain with a fan

that your children will laugh

only I beg of you don’t gossip about us

and leave my Myrto alone

she was born the way she looks.

Sad.
