IMPATIENT THIRST
 
The heat rushes me towards the summer... 
There is an impious thirst in me for what is coming 
Life begins to be me 
a mix of fierce freedom 
and fierce mistrust
A late tangle of reflections
will convert all creatures 
in small transitory gods ..

And when we finally worship them fiction will begin, 
How did it happen to the Greeks? 
If there is pain, our hope is consumed 
and gives life to the homeless 
Happiness has nothing, 
It's just the song of a soul in love 
Where eternity is today 
And I will know nothing then from those days... 
when your laugh 
It echoed in the corners of my loneliness.
