DOWN THE SPIRAL

( Danzio Bonavia ITA – PIOVONO LE STELLE)

 

 

 

Down the spiral

falls another day…

Today is the day the war is said to be over

But when take off the first missile

to cross the cold of dreams that do not sleep?

 

The night of the stars begins on S. Lorenzo

and is lost in the desert.

Granules,

themselves tiny,

the men of the sand

follow the wake of meteorites

which do not dissolve in a wish.

 

They convince their children

that is the rain of the stars.

Rain without clouds.

The stars fall

with impoverished drops.

Down the spiral

fall another day…

Where can an umbrella be opened

to make it stop?

 

The man

who advise how to stop

the fall of the stars
down the spiral
no one listens.

From his words

will not be born…

words to sell.

 

The stars are raining.
