Regime Change
Target country needs
a new despot
failed regime needs
to be changed
bombs, missiles,
guided death
put to work
defense contractor
in overtime
one can’t stand opposite
the deciding elites
with its rightful right
to punish, set straight,
do justice
old despot needs
to be replaced
announced in the evening news

Heterodoxies at the Aegean Sea
II
All these heroes
have been
reduced to ashes,
to stones
which no longer bear
the step by step
of the melodies
torn from the entrails.
The abyss opens
there where
the darkness
of the heroes
imitates an immortal
wound.
ΑΝΤΙΘΕΣΕΙΣ ΣΤΟ ΑΙΓΑΙΟ
ΙΙ
Οι ήρωες αυτοί γίνανε στάχτη
βράχια που
δεν καταλαβαίνουν βήμα στο βήμα μελωδίες
αποσπασμένες απ’ τα εντόσθια τους
Η άβυσσος ανοίγει
εκεί που το σκοτάδι των ηρώων
μιμείται το αιώνειο τραύμα
