Banners and Love Letters
“I love you” says he and spellsThe omega with omicron
With a torn t-shirt
And dirty hand.
He leaves me love letters
I hold them like banners
Whose warmth illuminates
Crystal clear eyes
I like mistakes
Dear Mr. Babiniotis1
For correct spelling
I wasted my youth
He has learned to stay away from me
When he is in deep worries
Listening to old folk songs
As if they were lullabies
In his misspelled dream
I am his rule
All the rest are labors
Of the “unnamed”
(translation: Stathis Gotsis)
