your need

for complex words

is keeping me away.

if I could

I’d simply have you

listen to my belly.

but first,

you’d have to actually want it.

----

η ανάγκη σου

για περίπλοκες λέξεις

με κρατά μακριά.

αν μπορούσα

θα σ έβαζα απλά

ν ακούσεις την κοιλιά μου.

αλλά πρώτα

θα πρεπε όντως να το θέλεις.

safe

every time you touch

someone’s heart

kindly

carefully

with permission

you make a safe space

a very small one

the trick is

all these small safe spaces

connect

you feel it when you meet

a friend of a friend

for the first time

and it’s clear that the

outside

doesn’t feel safe yet

but step by step

and touch by touch

we’ll make it so

four a.m.

why

are the nights

you come and go

lonelier

than the nights

I spend

alone

?
