Seek Me
written by: Aurora Kastanias
Let go of me do not hold
me in, exhale, let me ebb,
slowly leave your shore
I will return, in an instant
all your life rest assure
I’ll evanesce, disappear
without much ado, reappear
for your delight, until then
do not shudder at your breath,
let me sidle off your lips
I’ll cleanse you from the toxins
you so fervidly cling onto, hide
masterly within you, I’ll protect you,
always have, from your addictions
pour me out in c o two breathe me in
again in o two, I’ll tickle your bronchioles
pervade your three hundred
million alveoli once more,
drift into capillaries reverse
into red rivers flowing your veins,
from head to toe let me assist
your heart beat, give it rhythm appeasing,
I’ll come with new perfumes,
rejuvenate your essence make sure
you’ll seek for more.
While studying for my BA in Business Administration, at an American University in Rome, I further got enchanted by 19th century existential authors as well as European ‘absurdism’ and the Theatre of the Absurd.
It was only after my MBA that I started writing more seriously, giving space to my true passions. In recent years I have written two existential novels in Italian. In recent months I have started studing astrophysics and writing poems in english, which finally brings me here.
