rustling the rusted
leaves run the ground
the rain of the dead
becomes the soft sound
of the lower wind
rearranging the streets
of an early autumn

Ending
*
the leaves fall
with the same dancing
moves of butterflies
flights wearing
in this season
the same hues
it’s the enchantment
of summer ending
rays to weave
weaker and weaker
as time goes by
.

Solitude

solitude lived
in absence
of fear
leads you
to great riches

My Constellation
*
I rise early
to search the day
to bide the night
.
ancestors
waiting to be
called out to shine
once more
.
as the moon shines
with the stars
in the sky

Estate 2021 Inedita
*
e poi smettono
le cicale
quelle vicine e
sale il verde
ancora più caldo
delle ortiche

Hammock
*
I gently swing
back and forth
I gently move
my body in the
evening air
an hammock
weightless I
wait for my next
migration into
the still night
stretched on
.

Strength
*
standing strong
in my solitude
sweet moments
of deep joy out
of my own well

Dreaming
*
was dreaming of
sunny awakenings
sweet cuddling and
words few – tight together
was getting out to say
.
good morning – gratitude
will not fail me
a smile in spite
of everything
.
I will hold
happiness
between
my hands
.

Imaginary Route – Deep Sea Diaries
*
these days
I feel like a boat
in the woods
.
late at night
under a cloudy sky
not even stars
.
to dream upon
an imaginary route
on rocky soil
.

I Notice
*
I notice the silence
.
not anymore the chirping
or the chatter of the wind
.
I notice the hummingbird
trying stillness by furious
.
flapping I stop engaging
myself I let go of my eyes
.
frantic grasping of letters
on a page putting the book
.
down where it was letting
my head as beheaded
.
falling too
.
.
Poem from the bilingual book California Notebook available for you also online.

For You
*
your unpronounceable name
backward is wonder
upward is silence
where I abide
to my best
for you

The Right Place
*
you just know
when you are in
the right place
your soul stretches
out and flies you follow
it somehow with words
and without
This poem is at page 51 of the bilingual poetry book California Notebooks 02

The Revelation Of Presence
*
I quiver as the sun
comes back out
from behind the trees
.
I remember being
fifteen drenched in
too many questions
.
boiling over in the
heat of the sunshine
evaporating upward
.
leaving
.
room for silence
to fill each single
gap each crevice
.

The Sea From Afar
*
what I miss
is the time moving
slowly creating a still
silence inside
.
watching the clouds
surf slowly and the grass
grow tall when the rain
is done
.
walking uphill
seeing the sea from
afar holding its smell
on my skin
.
my time immersed
in beauty my time
my days my habits
I hold nothing
.
.
This poem is from the collection California Notebooks 01 available on Amazon if you are interested in purchasing your own copy for your own library shelves.

Perched On A Tree
*
the times I survived
my hardships
.
brought abruptly
into my life
were those on which
.
I stood on adversity
as a bird
perched on a tree
.
