Secrets of the Profession

As crafty as logos is
so it hides the secret of survival.
It hides between its lines
who wounded your heart
who dirtied your stars;
logos will become a false witness
that you’ll regain
the reflection of love.
It organizes your defence
and your exoneration
since you sacrificed the secret
of immortality for a momentary
meeting in heavens, and
it makes you forget your daily diet
with an imaginative verse of a poem:
ephemeral, raw.
You announce with chosen antithesis:
I’m content with momentary poetry.
Leaving behind the loss
you search for new techniques
to hymn eyes and other eyes
for as long as yours remain open, you say:
I still have work to do.

Aquarius
With the star of deluge pinned on its lapel
and having put aside
the bag of rambling
it unearthed the viscera of desert
half in the wind half in the light.
Suddenly water drops shone
on the weight of its tiredness and
filled the sun with passengers

Season
Pages from a lost revolution that, in its margins, we also wrote
our lives.
Oh, great incomprehensible season when suddenly one understands
the other.

Flock
The sun shines over the long
peninsula when the shepherd gets up
to lead his flock to the sunlit mountain
slope, his dog, a loyal worker runs after
all the half-asleep sheep, especially the
ones that stray away from the rest and
which he guides back to the flock and
to the watering well where the old shepherd,
using a bucket, pulls water and pours
into the watering wood canal
where he guides his sheep to take
their fair share while birds around sing
their morning arias and the old man
feels he too can sing one of the local
four liners thanking the ineffable for
granting him another healthy day; tears
flow down his cheeks when he thinks
that one day he too will be done in
the arms of joyous Thanatos, time will
surely come when the old shepherd
will be obsolete since sheep and other
animals are raised in stables these days
sheep fed with chemicals enough
to make sure they grow fast
to make sure they are slaughtered
to make sure tonnes of meat is
produced for the meat-eating
consumers who live in the big cities
and in every corner of the globe.
