THE CURVES OF THE EYES
Alessandro Russo
After a while I knew
that I would have still your eyes
staring at mine, filling them up,
making them beautiful.
I stopped everything, shaped all the stairs
that ran up
the spells of the expectation,
and on each step, and at each flight turn
there was a thought of us
that arrived or came back.
I didn’t see anymore, over, above or under
your eyes, and thought
that everyone should gaze at them
I knew that the stairs can go down too
and that those eyes could hurt,
but I couldn’t imagine that, also I
could have stared with the same eyes,
stare at you with the same eyes.
