U.F.O.
      to Vasilis

Halcyons with resplendent colors
my distant ancestors
a flock of birds with wings exiled
from the unknown galaxy
soared in the great darkness
for light years and years
holding the seed of creation
firmly in their beak

and I come today
to speak to you with blood and light
I shoot deadly arrows into your heart
with the few crumbs from the miracles
today I come to paint
an imaginary bird on your forehead.
