a landscape

rupturing out of the concrete city
the landscape of greece is savage and dishevelled
and the earth meets the sea with an animalistic satisfaction.
stone erupting from the depths of the earth
without making effort to host the softness of soil
or the cover of foliage.
the self-indulgent cliffs let the bodily weight of the waves
rush against them with urgency
and an anxious sense of tragedy paints itself
on every inch of one's skin.
there is no harmony in the provocative sculpture
of these mountains
and there is no calm in the cusps of this shore.
