Dimitris P. Kraniotis Poems

Snow-covered mountains,
ancient monuments,
a north wind that nods to us,
a thought that flows,
...

A roar of cars
seals the dawn
with short-cut answers,
with unyielding denials
...

Noiseless wrinkles
on our forehead
the frontiers of history,
shed oblique glances
...

The cloud struggled
against the sand
underneath the rain
of 'no' and 'yes',
...

Smokes
of cigarettes
and mugs
full of coffee,
...

Fragments of glasses
in the empty room
of the inarticulate whispers,
bleed
...

The savour of fruits
still remains
in my mouth,
but the bitterness of words
...

Life counts
the rules;
the sunset, their exceptions.
Rain drinks up
...

Waves of circumflexes,
storms of adverbs,
windmills of verbs,
shells of signs of ellipsis,
...

The night
that strangled
the endless moments
I had wished
...
