sapessi - knew you

by Maria Massarella

In questi giorni senza sole
mi manchi come non mai
sapessi che vuoto questi spazi
che aspettano per
riempirsi di te


In these sunless days
you are missed as never before
Knew you the emptiness
of arms awaiting
to fill themselves of you

fact is
were there words beautiful enough
I would thread them
to speak of you
tender in lovingness

Mamma said she saw you break
into tears today
Only one other time had we seen
your eyes well tears
- at Katia's wedding -

When my adenocarcinoma revealed itself
my heart cradled the transcendence
of your
Nooooooo cry
dew the leaves of your garden
resonate through the moonmagic valleys
Tell me
tell me - who will dry the tears of my silent
Nooooooo cry
now that

ora che






tua, marì

Be it word or deed, never was a father in better hands.
