A.Antognini
 
Presenting the thought provoking writings of Andrea Antognini:

           Alleyways  

             I watch a dog  
             wandering the streets.  
             with a tired air,  
             afraid.  
             Quickly dodging  
             Passers-by and vehicles  
             to disappear  
             down a calm alley.  
             In which roads  
             will my seasons end up?  



          In the colour  

             In the heat of a summer  
             Colours  
             of parched flowers,  
             of noises already forgotten . . .  
             . . . of voices  
             and breeze in the hair  
             to muddle thoughts.  
             Seagulls swoop down  
             to steal smiles.  
             I don't know their nests.  
             I only remember my colours.  
             It is difficult to write about love.  
Where do we fly ?
In a blossoming flower
I see your existence,
in the breeze, from the sea
I hear your breath...
nocturnal light,
and armfuls of dreams
to squeeze you again.
It's like a child asking:
where do we fly tomorrow ?


Watery moments
Until yesterday
a single raindrop
lit up my dreams.
Today,
not even the sea
carries me through to the evening.
