about the loved ones
lines on your forehead
she left him
a passionate kiss
parting
as for something
of human warmth
that he had in this life
keep you company
in that cold sky
of the memory.
The old man to death:
when you come for me
bring tobacco and a deck of cards.
I have a feeling that the road will be long,
and that's why I ask you,
that when you come for me
don't forget to bring me a coat,
scarf and good shoes.
Facing the unknown,
Before foolish, better cautious.
You don't have to be stealthy
enter as if you were at home.
serve yourself,
in the pantry you will find
bread and fresh fruit.
Yes, before leaving
leave me alone a few minutes,
just enough time to feed them
to the dog and the cat.
