Mind The Gap
Dora Kaskali
Dora Kaskali is a short story writer and poet
who lives and works in Thessaloniki.
Whose feet are dragging steps
on the dusty road?
For what arms are the sleeves lamenting empty?
Pain with his chisel
is working overtime on our bodies.
A race of half humans
we bleat on the wide roads
of our unfair time.
We will not take your artificial limbs.
We still remember that the chest
is resting in the cotton of the palm
that the mouth seeks a warm vagina
that keeps in its hideouts
all of lust's salt.
We will raise sails in the mayhem
until tender hands will grow
until hunter’s legs sprout.
We will make again
skin from the remembrance of the caress.
