Written by George Gad Economou
two days under the
Athenian heatwave—sun roasting the sidewalks, no shade
from cropped buildings and cement trees—breath drawn, exhaled,
small balls of fur coughed out—tongue dry, whiskers down—
chest heaves, chest
falls—too long the in between of breaths—moments of
darkness, sun’s up, heat, nightfall—cool air under
rustling leaves—nothing in the horizon—no helping hand—
silent cries—muffled coughs—sun comes up—the sidewalk
heats up—body’s now cold, life ends in
the same place it
began.
