THE SACRED TREE

by KAPARDELI EFTICHIA

In the hands of a twig

I hold the olive

kisses of the sun medal

This resembles the landscape

the calcined body

earth, golden root

vein under

the earth secrets

an old olive tree

deeper root

taller and more in the plains

cracks in rocks

cliffs and sides

to sit up wind

and endures

“Moria olive ‘grew

where the goddess

Athena struck with spear

A land skin

kotinos kallistephanos

for the Winner

flowering olive

floral soul

Dense hugs

fruit

oil for the light that stay up

the saints the lamp

the golden spirit

holy harvest

The undying time

flow of the sacred tree

immortal awakes

the suns touch

the cast shoot

the trunk,

cycle in nature

the same root

the bare hands

when they make centuries

Weigh the light

the sacred heart
