How can I put the ineffable into words?
I will try & hope my drops of ink, black as they may be, are infused with what was at the beginning of it all…
“These trees cannot grow with less sky
These rocks are not paving the way for oppressors’ boots
These faces are not happy if not under the sun
These hearts are not comfortable anywhere but in justice.”
Giannis Ritsos, Romiosini
