One Poem by Ermelinta - Melina Papa. Prepared Angela Kosta.

 

I AM

I’m Melio of honey

With the hills around for

my footstool.

And stars in my curls.

I bend down and reap the waters with my fingers.

And look! I cup the river, in my palm

In the flow of which, I cleanse-MY WANTS.

And I turn myself into a crystal clear waterfall.

Spring flows inside myself.

And spills rivers at my feet,

as with longing they hurry up

to kiss - Open Seas!
