You'Re Visitor: Alexis Karpouzos

When the birds 
take back their language, 
when the trees 
unloose 
their tenderly hands from around you, 
when the air doesn't breathe 
and the fish are crying,
when the seas are tearing 
and the flowers whisper: 
No, you own nothing,
then remember:
You're visitor, honoring the hospitality
