RETROSPECTIVE VIEWING | TAKIS PIERRAKOS

for Julia

I look at you, an utter stranger:
Distant vision
Unfulfilled childhood fantasy
A first-emerging dawn.
I look at you, sweet familiar figure
Play of shadows
Profitable investment of feelings
Endless confrontation
Between the imperishable moment
and the soul-devouring habit.
I hold the advantage of time tightly.
I follow you day after day.
Diligently, I record your truths.
Love,
Pain,
Death.
