Poems about Poetry
NEW LAND
by KAPARDELI EFTICHIA
Silent, Soft unknown
World
The old God
a deep sound of ancient
groan and sigh
***
In the old watches
time I ask
for the past
for hours, the moments
slipped into unoccupied
by crowding
hasty
***
Spent my holidays
flowers dried up
a “holy land”
a trembling neofaneroto
star
a book of old
many pages
the new world
singles
