χλιαρά ισοπεδώνει
το φιλί. (2) μόνος προτιμώ
αμίλητη λαχτάρα]

σκαρώνω κι εγώ στροφή.
επιστροφή. επιστροφή!

Translanguaging Arrival
Passionate about family genealogy,
Immigrant ancestors
Tom Agnew
Digs deep into the archive
Probes passenger lists
Excavates words, phrases
–Τρίτ[η] πρoί, φθάσ[αμε] στο Illios Eyeland*
a scribble attributed to a certain
Thomas Anagnostopoulos.
Rays of hope
Illuminating land,
Migrating immigrant eyes.
Language contingency conspiring
A space of transcultural accommodation
A spacious act of translation, which
Upon entrance, was
Never reciprocated.

* Tuesday morning, we arrived at Illios Eyeland (In Greek, “Ilios” = sun)

Redirection
About Greek things, I write
in non-Greek. It is necessary
for my livelihood to return
to Greek things in non-Greek.
Have you noticed the work,
the laborious toil in another
soil? It is called diaspora work.
To return, I turn to another
world, with its accent I pair
with the other, word by word
work in progress.
