Amorgos by N. Gatsos
To a green star
Underhanded observers to men are eyes and ears on the off chance that they have brute spirits. HERACLITUS
With their nation tied to the sails, their paddles suspended in the breeze
the wrecked dozed agreeable as dead monsters on sheets of wipes
be that as it may, the eyes of the kelp are swung to the ocean
in case the south breeze bear them back with new-colored sails
furthermore, a lost elephant is constantly worth somewhat more than the two bosoms of a
trembling young lady.
just let the tops of demolished mountain churches light up with want for the
evening star
give the fowls a chance to come in waves to the poles of the lemon trees
with the solid white pants of new advances
and after that, the breezes will come the assemblages of swans that stay gentle unsoiled
still
into the steamrollers of shops in the tornados of cabbage patches
at the point when the eyes of the ladies wound up dull and the hearts of the chestnut
dealers broke
at the point when the reap was halted and the expectations of the crickets started.
