Dimitris Troaditis, In the exaltation of our revolted veins

Dennis-Calvert-87-4

I will do the body movements
wiser than the mind
while the ground creaks
by a cunning naivete
beneath our feet

I will do the radiowaves of our sounds
pulsate in sunlighted banks
while contemplate
our decline in moon spaces
and dramas of stars

I will keep our inner fire
only ourself
while our body twirled
changing colors and stops
in the exaltation of our revolted veins
