The eternal city
An eternal city
Would find it strange
To care about its days,
Strange to protect time,
Strange to be shy of it.
It will smile at your youth,
At the height of our feelings,
Your goals.
It knows more than you,
It knows everything.
Water gnaws at the stones of its fountains.
It carries life
From day to day,
From century to century.
It is everywhere.
Will it satisfy your thirst?
Life?
It?
Northern,
Austere,
Rough,
Barbaric,
In essence,
Limiting itself in everything -
For centuries it warms itself in the rays
Of the southern sun.
Hiding from the sea for millennia,
Seeking it, needing it,
Refusing its gifts,
Its gentleness and its endearment,
Always ready for death,
But blooming again and again
With beautiful flowers of life.
