Veronica - a poem by Chis Zachariou

Waterloo Bridge - by Monet

Perhaps she tried Johnny
but she couldn’t love you.

Did you struggle when
your lungs began to burn
until oblivion came?

Africa - a poem by Chris Zachariou

famine

a mother cradles

her tiny baby girl

but in her little chest

there is no more breath

and all that’s left around

is the smell of death
