Manos Michaelides

Manos Michaelides Sep 2019

I sat beside you on a sofa
on an inclined plane
I sat on its lowest side
on purpose
waiting for you to roll over
but you held up well on the upper side
and that made me look at the sky
and wish the earth was vertical

[taken from my second book "I saw the day only in the crowd", released in 2012 in the Greek language (Gavriilides Publications), self-translated in English]

Manos Michaelides Feb 2017

Desertion’s discussion

The vainness of all i ever felt
Hided in your eyes
looking

Low

Rather at some detail of a metallic table
holding
Two cups of coffee
Two glasses of water
An ashtray
And my heart under its four legs
To stand still

[taken from my first book "No Commandment", released in 2006 in the Greek language, self-translated in English for the purpose of entering hellopoetry.com]
