In a flash by Dimitris P. Kraniotis (Greece)

In a flash

You violated the

borders

which buried their

know thyself

You destroyed prisons

behind curtains

turned ablaze by

the spark of your anger

Without cries

without whispers

in a flash

that simple it was

you gave birth to light

When you embraced

what isn’t told

(although written)

in darkness
