from dialogue to rupture

 

 

a Greece that never was 

holding too much light 

finding divine in the ordinary 

 

a poet its ghostly guide

 

whose poems invite 

listening, slowness, awe

/ sidestepping judgement.

 

division and violence misread

or hijacked or weaponised 

starkly exemplified 

 

from dialogue to rupture 

 

poetry matters, why? 

it's because it holds space

for what's fragile

 

luminous and human things

/ that slurs and dogma 

can't ever hope to extinguish
