Anthi, short for Anthoula, means flowers in Greek

Never have I been, with anything, more in love

Time and space were at last benevolent and chic

Heralding her at first sight from a safe above

Opening it with Athena's combination

Unraveled triangles and spheres pointing to Greece

Leaving a Sun behind, displaced by causation

Answering the Eros electron with my peace

Kanéna, my everything, yet in Greek means, none

Appeared in my mind whole under an olive tree

No flowers in words, all of them in my heart spun

Enveloping my chest in Athenian glee

Near a man called M, a goddess giggles his name

Art is possessed again and forever aflame

Dedicated to my Anthi and Anthi Psomiadou
