"The road again" consists of eleven new poems written during the quarantine. Thoughtful, with intense aphoristic quality and a tone of reflection, with Titos Patrikios' familiar preference for the dialectical way of thinking and a rhythm that utilizes the naturalness of everyday speech, the poems in the collection leave a strong impression on the reader.

THE ROAD AND LIFE

Whatever we say, whatever we do
whatever we silently or loudly revisit
some others, still small children
will live the same oft-repeated sufferings
the same unexpected joys, they will try
to open new roads, but starting
from one that is not much different from ours
sometimes changing, sometimes troubling
sometimes beautifying life
life with a thousand faces, unique life
life that is ours and others'.
