“...you are you and your body of steam,
you and your face of night,
you and your hair, unhurried lightning,
you cross the street and enter my forehead,
footsteps of water across my eyes,
listen to me as one listens to the rain”
― A Tree Within

“Kostas Papaioannou"
the wave of your laughter surged over the chatting and the rattle of
the cups and spoons,
it was the sound of spotted goats clambering in a rush over a land of
burnt hills,
the couple at the next table stopped talking and froze with blank
stares,
as if reality had become naked and nothing remained except the silent
spinning of atoms and molecules,
it was a flapping of wings over blue and white waves, a sparkle of
sun on the rocks,
we heard the sound of the footsteps of the nomadic waters on slabs
the color of embers,
we saw a butterfly land on the cashier’s head, open its wings of flame
and shatter into reflections,
we touched the thoughts we thought and saw the words we said, and
then the clatter of the spoons returned, the tide swelled, the people came
and went,
but you were on the edge of the cliff, the bay was a broad smile, and
above, the light and the wind conspired : Psyche blew across your forehead.”

“Amar: una variación, apenas un momento en la historia de la célula primigenia y sus divisiones incontables.
Eje de rotación de las generaciones.
Transgresión de la fatalidad natural,
bisagra que enlaza destino y libertad,
pregunta grabada en la frente del deseo:
¿accidente o predestinación?”

“El arte de amar
¿es arte de morir?
Amar es morir y revivir y remorir:
es la vivacidad.
Te quiero porque yo soy mortal y tú lo eres.”

“Soy hombre: duro poco y es enorme la noche.
Pero miro hacia arriba: las estrellas escriben.
Sin entender comprendo: también soy escritura
y en este mismo instante alguien me deletrea.”
