Ibrahim Honjo, from the book “Bed from the Stone”

Επιμέλεια: Εύα Πετροπούλου Λιανού

NOW AND SOMETIMES

I speak simply
the words echo
like the sound of a harp
it is charisma
harmony of nature
the unanimity of the lover
it is Now and Sometimes
it is the pursuit of eternity

my word is half girl
half a bird of prey
fast as the wind
voracious as ala
she ate all the alphabets
she is like a harpoon
it hits right in the heart and soul
at the first encounter, it dwells in you
and carries you on the wings
expanses of the universe

while you fly
I am trapped somewhere in some ignorance
I’m coming up with a new word
which frees from slavery
it will be the word of the century

big events create big words

my lips are bleeding

you will find your peace in my blood
from which a great word will spring
only once in this century

every century has its great word
sprung from someone’s blood

one word of mine and me
we’ll only show up once
in every century
