a poetorial, spoken, visual, musical & written, about kea, a mountainous island in the aegean, where fabled greek poets walked and mused, gods resided; where a potent sea, sun and winds ever flow, timelessly, mythically, cycladically ...
Moving Over Millennia
My feet move
over millennia
of men's sandaled footsteps
on these dromas.
Rising and falling
with the terrain
just as they rose and fell;
on cool marble underfoot.
Walking under hours of sun.
Over marble and dry earth
scattered with acorn shells.
Between stone-stacked walls
and olive groves.
Through curtains of cicadas,
wind, breath.
Sometimes with glimpses
of celadon and cerulean:
oases of sea.
My feet move
with mindfulness
over their millennia.
