Valori Plastici

VALORI PLASTICI
Your shadow on the piazza in a dream
The slanted light of late summer so it seems
The ball the spoon the spool the string everything
is a sign connected in a line endlessly
The sealing wax with initials mine and yours
An envelope in a fire now obscure
The hunt the arrow poised to pierce this lover’s curse
One final waltz the victim’s shadow falls windows burst
The bell the book the time you took
the story line a life of crime
the stagehand said you look divine
I found the space a window seat
I saw your face I could not speak
I recognized the widow’s peak
The chilly air of December keeps your love
a box tied up in black ribbon a hand in glove
You dreamt a double dream of spring bright and sunlit
The evil genius of a king ruined it
