Excerpt
THE EYE’S PENSIVE TENSION
The sacred bond, the flash of light, accusing one decision out of many, that invokes imploding finality before daybreak.
What’s this world coming to in the golden hour when dinosaurs
and dogs are falling from the sky above?
Water may cleanse the question for the eye’s pensive tension.
A white hair by fright, making the night white and vulnerable.
Ashes anew from the dead transpire a lost creed.
If this memory was to speak more, it would provide more puzzles than answers.
Water may cleanse the question for the eye’s pensive tension.
GOLD RINGS AND WISHES
Gold rings and wishes splash softly in the water.
This chaos forming a peace serene after a glimpse of a waterfall.
A lover wept and nature comforted them forever.
THROUGH THE PASSAGES OF MEMORY
Standing by the sea, there is first anxiety, fear and longing, remembering spoken vows that were once kept in twilight.
After the water crashes on the rocks, love and bravery are formed again.
The seasons bring solace
in our own time,
in our own way, through the passages of memory.
Attraverso i passaggi della memoria
In piedi in riva al mare, prima c'è ansia, paura e desiderio, ricordando i
voti che una volta si tenevano al crepuscolo.
Dopo che l'acqua si infrange sugli scogli, l'amore e il coraggio si sono formati di nuovo.
Le stagioni portano conforto
nel nostro tempo,
a modo nostro, attraverso i passaggi della memoria.
