Twice
Written by Nikos Moschovos
Twice
life torments us.
Twice,
just like the gipsy birds are shot.
Twice
like our then love
like secret fantasies
like Sid, we have been searching for
too many years now.
Twice
you say,
Myrto.
Twice
I tell about our life,
about the lost forests
the forgotten images
the texts we wrote
the thoughts we exchanged.
Twice,
heartbeat of my senses,
Myrto,
life torments us;
the meaning has now been over.
