LEAVE
A last handshake
to greet the sun that will continue
to rise and set.
A last handshake
to greet the hawthorn flourishing
the emigrating of the swallows,
the dancing of a dragon-fly,
my Sour Mountains
and my rugged bluffs.
A last handshake
to greet my rivers,
from the Mesima to the Petrace,
by now deprived of life.
A last handshake
to greet my world
of paper and of ink
that has bent my back
and made my eyes tired.
A last handshake
to greet the country,
between the olives there on the hill,
to which I due
some ashes that today
pay back homage to them.
SUNSET
And, with last
caress,
the sun blinded
the sea!
SMALL AND WORLDWIDE SENSATIONS
So, when that day will come,
now that my looks in the past
rather than in the future,
I need to go away alone:
neither crying nor a tear
thinking at nothing
because I know all will end.
While the Universe will go around
in the time and in the Eternity
pleased with a meaningless little bit
of have been, for a certain period
a planetary element!
