the first days of summer
bring Federico
as if his yellow and distant curls
had some answer
for me some mystery
that I cannot understand

I don't want to think about it but he
appears so fresh he says hello
as if we had seen each other yesterday
as if time laughed
because destiny went wrong
or whatever
some happier way of tracing
what was not

I don't want to think about it
but he
says hello he appears so
fresh
among the poems of Úrsula Le Gin
among the beats of the bass drum
and the music
that I improvise
he says
hello
in the middle of the Italian film
recently added to Netflix

his hands appear marking
the beginning steps of a tango
on my back
his name always a poet
his mouth that said
you are addictive
with the eyes
how you light

I need to swim or sing or continue
with Úrsula or watch some silly series
that erases it
I need
new narratives
to rewrite summer
and love without its initials
I need to say goodbye to you
only blond of my heart
please if it's not true
that you're coming back
if it's not true
the hug
stay in that corner of the past
sitting in the sun but goodbye
not in this present
Federico
if it's not true
if you're not going to whisper
I missed you Mar
then don't come back
that dreams at this point
why
we continue
you happy I hope
I with the attempt
to rewrite summer
and love
blond of my heart
without your initials
