Elia Michael Poems

I came upon the sea or thalassa
And marvelled at the truest of all blues
I saw an image of earth by NASA
A beautiful globe in similar hues
...

We three hundred know we will die
We'll sacrifice our lives for all
Here under a mound we will lie
Fighting the Persians we will fall
...

Δεν μπορείς να δεις το ουράνιο τόξο
Χωρίς ήλιο χωρίς βροχή
...

A glass of liqueur here
Is what you ought to bring
...

Hello, how are you Chris Gasteen?
Did you have a good festive time?
Did that red-dressed man, that has-been
Come down your chimney full of grime?
...

Today it's your birthday
With these bottles of beers
...

We are in the midst of winter
Yet I see a tender green shoot
Piercing the soil like a splinter
A plant I will never uproot
...
