The Thread of Depth
…I’m still here
on the path that turns before it vanishes
for good into the legend
with you reading these verses
about the utopia we call life built on pain
the fake knowledge of history
where each word tries
to come out of the speechless
generations sail out to the ocean
without choosing the time
they wander from craft to craft
been in the dream
up to the end of the dark lust
a world that distances itself
time before and after time
where you belong, they never say goodbye
the stars learn to survive
but not to love
don’t expect replicas
the thread of the depth transcends you
seed of a seeder that sprouts
into mortal eternities
preplanning silence and distance
Manolis Aligizakis
