Little lights
Let's build together this road
I, a brick; you another.
It will be rough and raw
and the grass will continue growing,
at the sides and between the edges
of the days without sun.
We'll walk
between tuneless chimes
and simple homilies
of intrepid dandelion seeds
eager for earth.
But what does she know about our love?
About sulky smiles and stones of river
that doesn't choose to flow
but it surrenders itself and drags us
