I know ligo,
a little, Ellinica.
I make a pot of avgo-
lemono feeling a fever
coming on, pray to
small gods called
saints who do favors
& specialize. A semi-
colon is a question
mark in Greek. Sideris
means blacksmith
like Ferraro & Eisenstein,
but siderenios, of iron,
said to a friend
facing adversity,
means stay strong.
