we run

by Brutus Paulinus

the ambition when we

started the race; the gallops and

one more breath; escaped

 

(

and we felt young again

pushing the threshold

of an imaginary battle

)

 

against the unreachable sunset

that tainted; in red the salty droplet

smashing against; the gravel

Spring

by Brutus Paulinus

entry picture

Unknowingly you woke up this morning to 

the instant in which spring conquered the darkness
 
that accompanied you every morning out
of bed. The abstracting silence of the night
 
replaced by the symphonic call of the  first migrating geese:
