A hero of our times - a poem by Chris Zachariou

A beautiful young woman
A beautiful young woman


My imagined life:


All the photos in the hall

football games in the park on Sundays
birthday songs and squeals of laughter.

With a red carnation on his lapel,
dark glasses and a menthol cigarette
he takes your hand and I nearly die.

I envy him; This icon and hero of our times
who takes it all  from me so easily and with
such panache.
