From "Now 1/3"
Selected Poetry of Demosthenes Agrafiotis
Translated by Angelos Sakkis and John Sakkis
6.13
“old chef
for all kinds of home crises”
time to destination 0:20
“I’m crazy for artificial
jewelry
the loose change of illusion”
local time altitude
speed Zürich
“the distant cousins”
I have nothing to write
Atlantic Ocean, Copenhagen, Moscow,
Brussels, Amsterdam, Berlin, Paris,
Stuttgart, Milan, Barcelona, Luzern,
Berne, Bonn, Karlsruhe, La Chaux-de-Fonds,
Altdorf, Alpes, Rome,
Athens, Cairo, Teheran
language bloated on flat screen
“…they are lost useless life”
the greatest, the median amounts
the shadow of a tree
the geometry with red bricks
the strength of Chinese paper
Breuguel friend, guide
blind under a barrage of images
healing of wounds?
during some awkward days
the animated drawings are a verisimilitude
a devaluation, guileless gesture
the lies (solitary people)
worse than those of new-money
he admitted that cynicism never
left him
vol, vol, vol
Genova, Rapallo, Firenze
