POEM BY GEORGE DOUATZIS

ADDED

When the white clouds gather many tears

there’s no protection for the white haired old men

who resist time with their art

tears turn white

they keep their umbrellas open

with no sails they point to its entirety

their black metal skeleton

that the unimpeded tears can pass through

and create the cleansing rain

that showers all who have

their hands open to an embrace

as if they sublimate all the acts of their lives
