Moving Over Millennia

 

My feet move

over millennia

of men's sandaled footsteps

on these dromas.

 

Rising and falling

with the terrain

just as they rose and fell;

on cool marble underfoot.

 

Walking under hours of sun.

 

Over marble and dry earth

scattered with acorn shells.

 

Between stone-stacked walls

and olive groves.

 

Through curtains of cicadas,

wind, breath.

 

Sometimes with glimpses

of celadon and cerulean:

 

oases of sea.

 

My feet move

with mindfulness

over their millennia.
