    Here It All Begins

    Here all begins.

    The comings and goings of faint sunsets

    and of dark-sick sunrises

    mark my children's age.

    Living is like recovering

    always: waiting

    is the one remedy to madness.

    Or is like a pawnshop

    where they lend you one third of good,

    and every six months you renew your heart

    for a helpless smile.

    I realise I'm growing old

    by settled loans,

    by paid and unpaid bills

    by higher and higher dental expenses

    by car and boiler wear and tear

    by scrape and win lottery useless cards

    by evenings in Web

    seeking in the virtual the real.

    I still trust you Leopardi,

    but no more the vigour of the past

    memory is a piteous curse

    timeless without dimensions,

    melancholy gave her chair

    to the teacher of all teachers: the instant.

    On him I depend, from him I learn

    now, the friendly art.
