     Octopus Garden

I cannot imagine
My home, our home
below the waves
1800 years of history
of family
of us


Below the waves

Now we climb a hill to get...home
while we fish above
the old garden
where an octopus now dwells


Below the waves

I wonder who else is submerged
under waves of rehtoric, oppression, illness...
In the end we are all forced under eventually

Below the waves

Can we, will you, come up for air and breathe life with me above the waves?
