EMANUELE CILENTI

Heavy, Like The Universe.

I saw a boy

on the edge of a road

wore a suit

made of earth

and two shoes

of dust,

he was hungry

he was cold

and he was alone in the world

from his eyes

swollen and red

a tear came out,

then I picked it up

fall and I wanted to weigh it

but it was impossible

because it was heavy

as much as the whole universe.

I turned around

the boy was gone

kidnapped in flight

from the first breath of wind

so I was alone

and I started to cry

and every tear

fall on the ground

he made a deafening noise

which blew my eardrums

causing on earth

huge abysses

and it was there,

just in that instant,

that I understood for the first time

how much a tear weighs

poured into this land,

it's just a drop

but it is heavy

as much as the whole universe.

A Blade Of Grass That Tickles The Sky.

In the dark of night

I wave my arms

i want to learn to fly

like the eagle

while the darkness

hides me from the looks

of those around me

I am made of mud

dirty with life

and my feet leave footprints

on the dust of days

that the wind

with its invisible ink

kidnaps and transcribes

on the walls of time

like the graffiti of life.

I have sobs

that scratches the soul.

I have tears

that paste on your face

memories and pains.

I have dreams tattooed on a sheet

snow White.

I am a blade of grass

that hovers in flight

tickle the sky

snatch a little smile from God.

Loneliness And Death

(the pandemic in the time of the Coronavirus).

Balconies that sing

the hospitals that cry

the streets that scream

the tricolor that flies

people who get excited

the crowd

outside supermarkets

with masks and gloves

looking for bread

longs for peace

all distant

but united

everything will be fine

said the television.

Coffins without a funeral

burnt bodies

outside their cities

without burial

without relatives

niches are missing

to welcome them

there are no complaints

to accompany them.

The bread card

eyes without tears

goodbye never data

elderly people alone

without being able to review

loved ones

and for the last time

shake his hands.

Pandemic, quarantine

drones, helicopters

army at war

against an enemy

Invisible

a virus called Corona

doctors and nurses

exhausted, dead

they came to save lives

but nobody saved them.

Where is Europe

Europe is not there

to be honest

there never was

I have seen Russians, Cubans

Chinese, Albanians

I have not seen French cousins

nor German allies.

So much is only an influence

so much they die alone

old people who don't

a lot of resistance

it is all a conspiracy

to mask 5G

the Europe Defender

the third World War

but here people continue

to die

what do I tell you to do.

You are skilled at hiding

you are good at hiding

to manipulate and lie

but this winter

will have to pass

and then the world will give you

his bill to pay

right or wrong

that it is

will give you anyway

its weight

takeaway

you will not escape

from his anger

run as much as you want

so much to his revenge

you will not escape.
