Hot winds,
high blistering noon,
discomforting duet

Sitting on lounging chairs,
on hot, reflective sand,
cigarette smoke floating ad hoc, 
validation via cell phone cacophony
within radius

Tourists and locals,
frolicking in water,
sharing skin with damaging UV rays,
realm of oblivion

ΚΑΛΗΜΕΡΑ! (Αυτοσχεδιασμός by ΟΜ) 

Μίκη Θεοδωράκη, εισ’εδώ 

« Η καλή μέρα απ’το πρωί φαίνεται»

Πρωινή θεραπεία, 
θαλασσινή δόση,
Παρουσία αγαπητών φίλων, 
η μέρα μας έφτιαξε 

Morning therapy,
sea as elixir,
presence of dear friends,
our day is set

I.  BEACH

Body and mind,
entering water;
Balance

Buoyed by sea,
soul enters equation,
mental anchors fade;
We are one with nature 

I’. ΑΥΡΑ ΨΥΧΗΣ

Αίσθημα και διάθεση
εν πλω,
η θάλασσα γυαλί
οι συνάνθρωποι εμπνέονται 

Άλλο αξέχαστο στιγμιότυπο 
στην τσέπη 

Feelings and disposition
floating m,
calm sea
our fellow synanthropes inspired 

Another unforgettable snapshot 
stored in our memory

I’’. MARIKES MORNING

Ceiling of sunlight,
the relaxing sea sea;
pheromones flowing,
cortisol dissolved

25 Sept 2021



II.  CLIQUES 

Pods of people,
gathering in early morning
sociology and psychology merging

Leaders of pod
vocalizing, discerning our existence,
drawing attention;
We exist as side dish
to their social menu


III.  RESOLUTION 

Those who approach,
and are approachable;
With no expectations, reserve,
insecurities resolved

Life, enhanced
by understanding, conversation;
Vibrancy of humanity 

Nourishment of soul,
convergence of Helios and Poseidon

«Ουδέν κακών αμιγές καλού»*

Άρνηση στην παραλία,
ο ήλιος, η θάλασσα
την σκέπασε με θετικότητα
φορτώνοντας τα κύτταρα χαλαρότητας

Negativity at the beach;
The sun, the sea
covered it with positivity
charging cells of relaxation

*from the bad comes good

Sinus draining,
as if subconscious,
hosting spherical spikes,
viral Airbnb

Esoteric reevaluation,
exoskeleton, shed randomly

Content reevaluation,
function of social stimuli;

Common denominators, 
least common multipliers,
paired at random;
Offspring, 
convenient message boards 

Ad hoc labels,
ethnic, religious, financial;
Status quo du jour,
diaphanous imprimatur 

Warm smile,
on face of Humanity,
continuity of Spirit
