Pse udhëtojnë hapat e mi

e trupi im s'lëviz?

Why do I take steps forward

if my body is motionless?

[soracities]

Why do I often feel empty like eternity with no millennia?

Moikom Zeqo, excerpts from Letters from the Dark (trans. Loredana Mihani)

Boredom often creates strange ghosts, white fogs in which the buildings sway and there's no stability or law. What happened to the old choreography of vanishing ghosts?

Moikom Zeqo, from his poem “I Don’t Believe in Ghosts” (translated by Wayne Miller)

Këta brirë na përgjakin imagjinatat, na plagosin arsyen, na lumturojnë dhe na sfilitin në dilema ciklike

Le Profezie – Moikom Zeqo Un giovinetto, armato di due scimitarre dalla impugnatura di diamanti Persiani, montato su un cavallo color rugiada stava guardando la carovana dei muli e cavalli stracarichi che si affaticavano sul sentiero scosceso di pietre grigie della montagna, attraverso una nebbia fosforescente.

Pse vetë Zoti, Zoti

S'më përshtatet si rroba, që e provoj në trup

Dhe më rri e vogël?

Why is it that God, God himself,

does not fit me like the clothes I wear

but shrinks?

Images from: Into Albania “The Beauty of Durrës (also called The Beautiful Maiden of Durrës or The Belle of Durrës) is a polychromatic mosaic of the 4th century BC and is the most ancient and important mosaic discovered in Albania.[1][2] The 9 m2 (97 sq ft) mosaic is elliptical in shape and depicts a woman’s head on a black background, surrounded by flowers and other floral elements.[2] It was discovered in 1916 in Durrës, in the middle of the First World War, when Durrës was occupied by the forces of Austria-Hungary. During works by the Austro-Hungarian army to construct fortifications, the military engineers ran into this mosaic, which was unearthed 3.80 m (12.5 ft) deep in the foundations of a house in the “Varosh” quarter, very close to the present-day city centre of Durrës city. Eventually, after the end of the war, The Beauty of Durrës was covered up and lost to view, only to be rediscovered in 1947 by an archaeologist from Durrës, Vangjel Toçi. It became widely known to the world of art history only after 1959.[4] and since 1982 has been on display at the National Historical Museum of Albania in Tirana.

The historian and archaeologist Dr. Moikom Zeqo has stated that the woman represented in the mosaic is the same as one painted on archetypes of amphorae in Apulia and other parts of Southern Italy, with red figures of the Hellenistic era. According to him, the Beauty of Durrës represents the Cretan goddess Eileithyia, who was goddess of childbirth and midwifery, assisting in the healthy delivery of infants.[1]” |Wiki

I try to travel toward you, I can't. Like sandals, metaphors have carried the centuries. I'm here even when I'm gone.
