CLAUDIA PICCINNO

CLAUDIA PICCINNO

SEWN HEART

I have big shoulders that bend

under shots of others inconclusiveness,

I have strong legs

Which go along lonely paths,

I have sewed and rattwecked my heart

one thousand times,

I have an acute mind that fades

Of anger in front of you.

I hate the sly,

The latent and obvious ambiguity,

I hate the silence convict

And accomplice of the payoff.

I have these limits

That I am astonished,

I do not fit

To this my envy.

THREE BLUE ROSES

Three blue roses

Three times the cock will sing

And three times you will deny me.

I’ll give you three roses

One for every chance.

Your thorns push your onsciousness.

Let the velvet petals move

That arid heart.

the scent of the flowers

It will make you to forget anything.

Only a total amnesia will give us serenity.

Petals of blue roses

three blue roses’ petals

Three petals of a rose

And wonder Who are you?

NO DROP THAT QUENCHES THIRST

Alone on the

arid and hot sand

No drop that

waters it,

This is us,

You whispered slowly.

Give me the ash

That alone I will cover my head.

Go away,

Without crutches

I will walk.
