Monsoon, a Poem by Eva Petropoulou Lianou

It is a rainy night

The birds do not fly

Nor the cats get out of home

I stare at the window

It was a strike

Then skies opened

A monsoon was created from nothing

As evil came so suddenly

I saw cows and cars up in the sky

They were flying as an eagle

Monsoon approach my window

I saw a shadow...

A black shadow like a puppet

Was moving all around

Hands and foot was moving

A big mouth was shouting

Homes, people, windows smashed

We forget beautiful things

We forget God

A monsoon was attacked my memories

My house

My life

It came and destroy

everything

The next day I was alone

Without clothes

Without smile

Without memories

Without heart...

After monsoon dissappeared....!
