Farewell my brother
godspeed
back into the darkness of the deep
the horror and the ecstasy
...
Your body sails
Swallow's wing
Amongst odd shaped birds
Snow on the slopes of Dirfy
...
The Mad Piper's Complaint
Were I a warrior
I'd pipe by your side
...
It is when
talking of myself
I become aware
that I speak of a river of souls
...
ΤΟ ΠΑΡΑΠΟΝΟ ΤΟΥ ΤΡΕΛΟΥ ΤΣΑΜΠΟΥΝΙΕΡΗ
Ας ήμουν πολεμιστής
να τσαμπουνίζω πλάι σου
...
There you see?
Orwell and Ionesco
a Teatro alla Scala
a Milano!
...
Είναι τότε
που μιλώντας για μένα
αντιλαμβάνωμαι
οτι μιλώ για ενα ποταμό ψυχών
...
The woman shrieked and moaned
an animal in the slaughter house
We stood by
...
ΕΛΕΓΕΙΑ ΣΕ ΜΙΑ ΑΡΣΕΝΙΚΗ ΦΑΛΑΙΝΑ
καλό ταξείδι αδελφέ μου
à dieu
...
I see Ukrainians defend their fatherland
my soldier soul
salute!
...
His sward draws dances
with comrades he never kissed
concentric circles
squeeze his soul
...
