You talked about yourself as a girl
Staying alone in the afternoon
Far away from the living- room
Hiding deep in the closet
A thin blue notebook of poems
When the electricity lit it on fire
Your poems twisted
And without any disruption
They crawled their way to the stairway
And in your green childhood neighbourhood
They spread
They blew
And you were not a girl anymore
You grew
After 20 years a woman left a man
And my warm heart aged and weakened
While you turned off the main switch in my closet
And my house turned empty and gray
Ever since then I go out every night
Cause the streets are blessed with so many lights
I cruise around the piazza of the sword
And raise you slowly from the netherworld
I burnt it all a long time ago
I know with me you are lost
A man who was abandoned causes only pain
Even to his one true love
