Poetry from Ibrahim Honjo

IF NEEDED

This day is windy

clouds float between the Earth and the sky

above the sea, seagulls dance

a dance unseen so far

the sea, disturbed, foams

either from joy or pain

who knows

within me

the life of a wanderer awakens

in my thoughts, I glimpse a new dawn

a call of silence echoes

a seagull eats from my hand

crumbs of old bread

memories swarm inside me

about some funny story

which was told by my great-grandfathers

everything is the same as in their time

greed is passed down from generation to generation

under the motto

over corpses to reach the goal

if needed

it is always needed

by someone
