Per una volta

Standard

Once in a while, on a Sunday, the posts are dedicated to Italian poetry.

*

mi resta poco

ogni giorno

scelgo cosa

dire e cosa muovere

ogni giorno

scelte sullo scontato

abituale

salvo energie per la cura

salvo me

spero per una volta

.

Breathing

Standard

*

it’s the stall that

makes me nervous

the space between

branches that

.

makes me breath

.

the silent wake up

calls before the

birds sing that

has me pray

.

Fear Lives

Standard

*

fear lives in us

the more we push it

out the more

it sinks its roots in the dark

.

to be able

to recognize it when

we look from its eyes

terrified

.

at life well aware

we don’t understand

what influences us is what

halts my words now

.

What It Takes

Standard

*

the garden repeats

itself with no shame

day after day

year after year

it is the ritual of life

honest repetitions

with no aim to gain

simply to be

I learn each day

from these visits

each step I take

wisdom sheds

entering me

imperceptible

it takes a needy

heart to see

this incredible

life experience

.

Beauty Lingering

moving

this of giving poetry
a way

to be seen

Let’s Not Forget

Standard

*
lets not forget
the improvised song

.

falling from above when
you stop to meditate

.

wings flapping
nervously sounding

.

almost metallic
that clear it seems

.

lighter than
daylight

.

Ask Me Not

Standard

*

let me dance
as the millipede
with no thinking

.

ask me not to
quit nor to explain
turn the other side

.

if jealousy abides
inside as I praise the
sky as the dance floor

.

Keep On Walking

Standard

*
our venturesome
walks are the cause
me I can’t stay
put too long

.

walking life barefoot
doesn’t scare me

.

it was probably
because grandpa

.

explained everything
to me then – I got it

.

the habit of asking why
exacting answers

.

even when
the questions
are larger than I
I keep on walking

.

November 1st

Standard

*

November 1st early
morning past sunrise
I’m out in the middle
of the deserted road

.

I stop to savor the
moment under a sturdy
blue sky half moon
suspended late up there

.

my eyes running up to
the lengths of the tall
palm trees where only
a bird or two greet me

.

I’ve got a couple of hours
a couple of water bottles and
some mountains to follow here’s
peace before my Sunday starts

.

From the poetry collection California Notebooks 02 now on sale.
