What Do You Want It To Be!

What do you want a tear to be

hanging on a thread of light

what rocks

with every caress of the wind?!

What do you want an eagle to be

that stands out on its first flight

leaving his nest forever

and fall in love with the wind

go and live in the sky?!

What do you want it to be

the caress of a child

who smiles at you and calls you: dad?!

What do you want it to be

when the heart stops

after your every kiss ?!

What do you want it to be

this is the life

a tear of joy

Almighty

accompanied

with a majestic chorus

of the seraphim?!

In The Company Of A Tear.

You will seek a rhythm

when the heart stops.

You will look for a small trail of light

when their eyes go out.

You will seek a caress of the wind

when the lungs are blocked.

You will seek the way out

from this maze

freedom

from these chains.

You will look for water

at the bottom of an arid well.

You will insist on seeking life

in the womb

or in the opening of a flower.

And in your desperation

like a madwoman seeks her madness

you will seek me

but you won't find me

I will be a torn poster

from a wall

the last drop of rain

that falls far from the ground.

You will seek, you will cry, you will despair

but I'm already gone

pushed by a flight of swallow

I will emigrate to the top of a mountain

and from there I will observe your ruin

like a burning city

i will be alone

in the company of a tear.

Heavy

Like The Universe

I saw a boy

on the edge of a road

wore a suit

made of earth

and two shoes

of dust,

he was hungry

he was cold

and he was alone in the world

from his eyes

swollen and red

a tear came out,

then I picked it up

fall and I wanted to weigh it

but it was impossible

because it was heavy

as much as the whole universe.

I turned around

the boy was gone

kidnapped in flight

from the first breath of wind

so I was alone

and I started to cry

and every tear

fall on the ground

he made a deafening noise

which blew my eardrums

causing on earth

huge abysses

and it was there,

just in that instant,

that I understood for the first time

how much a tear weighs

poured into this land,

it's just a drop

but it is heavy

as much as the whole universe.
