Wings
Obstinate swallow wings spread
open merciless windbreakers
pronouncing elegance against
dictum’s profanity, legs
tucked away unlike a statue’s
yearning in awe for
his own feathery propulsion
must stand durable instead
on firmness, while
blue heaven consoles
loneliness with puffy clouds
whiting the distant shore
where everything someday
will adhere to excellence
Manolis Aligizakis
