Moving : Dimitris P. Kraniotis

Moving

Dimitris P. Kraniotis

We ’re naked now

We donned the colors

Undressed words and voices

We ’re blind now

We drank the light

Swam in death

With alcohol and tobacco

In our luggage

We testified falsely

Forgetting who we are

We built our life 

On a bird

And we flew again

Simply we moved
