Our refuge
by kapardeli eftichia
Forest … the big river travels
the tall trees growing
refuge in the oak, the lemon blossom,
… the chestnuts, birches
the hornbeam, the afroxylies (trees), the almond, the beeches
with trees and cherry trees
hearts carved in the peel
childhood memories
hairy skins of lichens
their trunks in dark dress
knots in aged hulls
The leaves and branches
breathe with
all the raindrops
to get enough
Birds pick
heart of green
after opening its wings
.. and the sun travel
Transparent sheets, change color,
Joined butterfly flying
when the shadow spreads
spring’s first flower sprout here
and fresh footprints, silver
the passage of deer
Leaves, pine, dryokikides
the fruit of the beech
and acorns, tangled mat …. hidden
The deep colors slept
with wet pine needles and
Eucalyptus strips dressed
Forest …. That was left an orphan with no color
landscape beauty without broken
needless sounds of leaves dried
logs that were forgotten
the supreme simplicity
Once fertility dead
Where are the trees that struggled
with deciduous trunks
Where are the cyclamen, which are the hyacinth
the ferns and those wild clover
to lie down next to the trail … .. charmed
lost sight of my left
a tangle of roots, dead …..
The sun lowers in the rays of the afternoon the ghost
a path
for all wildlife is left alone
the sound of water strengthens
lost the wild pigeons hastily sousourades (birds) and Spentzos (birds)
branches dead and shelter we have lost in a cloud of scorched dust wet
