Two decades over two millennia

The story I'm going to tell, is not my story. It is the story of someone, who is telling a story which is very similar to his own. The dream I will remember, won't be mine. It's the dream of someone who remembers a dream, that is very similar to his own. I think of stories I like to make stories. To tell them. I know this must sound like the dream of little Iasonas. What will he be when he grows up. When I wake up, it'll happen again. It'll start all over...

Yara Yara

Γελάς, μα εγώ σε πούλησα στο Rio για δυο centavos
κι απέ σε ξαναγόρασα ακριβά στη Βηρυτό.

Απάνωθέ μου σκούπισε τη θάλασσα που στάζω
και μάθε με να περπατώ πάνω στη γη σωστά.

Μια βάρκα θέλω, ποταμέ, να ρίξω από χαρτόνι,
όπως αυτές που παίζουνε στις όχθες μαθητές.
Σκοτώνει, πες μου, ο χωρισμός; Ματώνει, δε σκοτώνει.
Ποιος είπε φούντο; Ψέματα. Δε φτάσαμε ποτές.
