I  will love you in small ways the way rain touches windows quietly, without asking for permission. I will love you like the breath that hides inside the chest of a sleeping bird— fragile, and almost not there and if tomorrow my heart forgets to wake, promise me you will carry its last warmth in your hands as though it were a fallen petal too tender to leave on the ground for I.

Σαν σημερα πριν 2 χρονια, άφησα το σπιτάκι μου στην Κομοτηνή και γύρισα Θεσσαλονίκη.

Κι αν ο σημερινός εαυτός μου, ελεγε στον τοτε όλα όσα έγιναν σε αυτά τα 2 χρόνια, δεν θα τα πιστευε ούτε μία στο εκατομμύριο. Κι ας ηταν πιο όμορφα από όσα έζησα εκει. Κι ας ηταν πιο επίπονα και άσχημα από όσα έζησα εκεί.

Πάντα θα μου λείπει και Πάντα θα γυρίζω εκει, ψάχνοντας κατι να μπορεί να με κρατήσει σε εκεινη την πόλη.

Αυτά για σήμερα🤷🏼‍♀️

A Turkish Cypriot woman sang in Κομοτηνή a song about the Smyrna catastrophe... :/

A few months passed since this happened. I am sorry I couldn't reply earlier. I am not easily heated when it comes to such issues but on Greek ground, one singing a happy marching song on how their people took Smyrna, is objectively quite offensive.

Cause they didn't just "take Smyrna". They caused one of the most known massacres and destruction of cities of the early 20th century which was documented in real-time on the shores, and it was also the height of the Christian years-long genocide (Greeks, Assyrians, Armenians) they did, a genocide so cruel to the point Hitler himself was inspired by it.

The festivity was done based also on Greek funders. Out of respect to the Greek funders and the Greek town they were in, the whole production ought to stop this. There are many ways to foster community among the Turks of Komotini, and ways that are way much better than that.

It's like Israelis coming to Gaza a hundred years in the future and singing a romanticized marching song about what they did to Gaza. Simply disgusting.

Gold bust of Emperor Septimius Severus (r. 193-211 CE), discovered in Plotinopolis, Greece.

There are only two Roman period gold busts in the world: this, and a modified bust in Switzerland (not open to the public). The above bust was used to top a standard bearer.

On display at the Archaeological Museum in Komotini, Greece.
