GiORGOS CHRISTODOULIDES SELECTED POEMS 1996-2021 (COMING SOON)

SAMPLE:

 

Forest in the courtyard 

 

He insists on the same plants, always.

He waters them, fertilizes, caresses,

never prunes them.

It would be like cutting off their arms, he confesses.

“We’ll grow into a forest,” they tease him, and he laughs.

“Oh, I have a fairy tale to put you inside.

You will never grow old,” he tells them.
