Lost Friend
I walk through our usual streets
and again I’m feeling a stranger
People pass by
as urban extras
My gaze is looking for you
I can’t avoid it
For a moment you are beside me
and you are walking with me
but is only a phantom
a mind’s creation
Another step
and you are already vanished
in the urban chaos of this city
that we wanted to conquer together
You find yourself a stranger
You are avoiding what is called
the human race
Alone
you can embrace the entire world
Lost
we are our only resource
While I’m passing below a bridge
I’m thinking that you are passing just above me
One day I’ll take my whole life
and I will bring it
I don’t know where
I won’t have anything with me
except myself
We have lived with one another
Now I see
hand by hand
young lovers
I feel the vanity of my love
I’m loosing
my fixed star
Something so powerful
and immaculate
A new creature
is pushing
Is making its way
inside myself
and go along with me
in the already empty streets.
Time
Memory
The living time
of my present
The inability to forget
to embrace oblivion
Like an insomnia of memory
Life flows around me
Beauty’s smiles
Fragments of detached existences
In their being
matter of promises
Shadow
Incredulous projection
lack of light
Emblem of living matter
A gesture evoked an existence
eclipsed in a gloomy cradle
wide open eyes
on the bottom of a deaf obscurity
facing the uncertain boundaries
of a well dug in the flesh
In the city
love claims victims
lone and hungry
the citizens grab a dose
as long as it’s warm
The city
desperate love
hand in hand
in a faraway point of no return
totally estranged
I turn my back
enclosed in myself
Everyone find someone
In the delight of an intimate embrace
I’m looking at you from a sidereal distance
I have spotted one thousand horizons
new possibilities
in every beautiful faces
the endless combinations
hidden in everyone
On the hill’s edge
there is a body
more and more gaunt
mock of harsh winds
who push and pull
the unsteady wobbly figure
