METAMORPHOSIS
(Loraa of New York)
Loraa asked me to imitate Odysseus,
not to listen
sirens of the deep,
nor the poet's erotic verses
in the rocky waves of the sea.
In New York he studied Pythagoras,
the language of mimicry read the
unspoken word
wrote it in saltiness,
where life is a dream
and the dream becomes life.
The epic words underwent a
metamorphosis,
the seagulls danced
over our heads,
deep sea conception
shivers run through,
air in New York
I missed the thrill of life.
THE
WHITE VEIL *
Finger embroidered eyes,
adorned in the white veil
flash the frozen smile,
worried,
pride,
do we miss...
In the city of students,
brufullove
as beauty
bedecked with stars,
it weighs on me
metaphor in the soul...
How many tears of joy will fall
on the next day,
with the white veil
that we loved so much...

HELLO...
Hello! Hello!
the voice hums like in a cave,
I had forgotten the color of the
voice
in this agn of late month.
Hello, hello...
the voice on the other side
shuddered
in the raging river,
-Yes I am,..
here.closed in the ego
"gnosi" the lip timbre,
turmoil of times
or late spring?!
Hello, I'm Loraa,
nothing important
in me the shadow of longing
affects the absorbed nectar
in search of immortality...
I clutch the phone
I feel stuck in water, who revives
my fire?
Mekur in late May?!
Hello, Hello..., listen to me!
I am the sin-ridden Danaide,
why don't you talk to me
why are you silent?
...I can hear you on the other
side,
I was disturbed by this phone call in the last month.
