THE CURVES OF THE EYES by Alessandro Russo

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.



Alessandro Russo from Castellammare di Stabia (Naples - Italy) is the author of several books of poetry and has been awarded many national and international poetry awards.
