Metaphors
South wind cadence of cedars
fingers over harp strings
insubordinate son of the wind
the light-blue sea undulating
finite earthly work of art
the unstoppable thunderbolt
flashing, warning, burning
April flowers
dandelion, forgetful
ambivalent melody, mental
balance, proud young hawk
first innocent
kiss, ancient hymn Eros and Psyche
image of a naked woman
erotic consummation, lustful
snow-white swan feathers
rough August seas, dreadful
begging of the beggar’s hand
blessing for your plentiful
caiques before their christening
the boy’s scratched knee, soft
summer holidays, middle of June
conflagrating my skin
Manolis Aligizakis
