Two Poems by Astra Papachristodoulou
Fear is a Colour
controlled environments
confine the movement
of the captives whose
natural environments
is nothing but controlled
from free & furry to fixed
fur fatales inside a chaos
of fight and force
give the lifeless room
some frightening colour
Furry Spirit
