The Islands of Greece

Are

Too

Many

lines

In the Hebrew title of the book.

איי יוון

The family

Sat across from us.

As we tucked in to our meze,

Father,

Shaved head smothered in Factor 50,

Mother,

Dark.

 

He seemed angry;

they never consulted the book

and

left

without a goodbye.

 

This was during the time of the priests.
