…too subtle for words, something hovered over the vicarage lawn…        the smell of rain in dust brought the day to a standstill.  An elm creaked.  A hoverfly hung suspended as hours and minutes melted.  The preternatural shimmering of a dragonfly’s wing wrung wonderful rivulets of iridescent glow in glas golowji.  In an insect’s eye a thousand mirage-images hit the tiny brain simultaneous.  Under the grass-blades, the real action is happening.  Lambent foliage rumbles as sky-lark darkened spring night quakes awake at night be the old wood fire.  Strains of a grasshopper klarino song billow the echo of a beetle’s glistening carapace shell, krogonek surkot, as he dips through his dog-trot door into the eye  of summer.   Sheep stream across the mountain, Tsamiko soars, reflecting mountain’s soul.  Phonograph spins shimmering awareness, a stream of song, a conscious swirl of reed-throated upland warbling.  The golden thread of Melodia’s musing.  Τσάμικο σόλο βέρσο Σωτήρης Σγούρος        Sotiris Sgouros takes a solo in the Tsamiko. Screes of the rock-wall kingdom echo to the sound, happy the nomads who jam in the tent.
