I fear I am losing touch with you...

The Distance that Breathes
Serena my dear
This is a letter to you
I fear I am losing touch with you
not because I have turned away
but because I have wandered too far
into borrowed worlds
into words that do not breathe you
seeking to quench a thirst
that only Italy remembers within me
Tell me
is this longing
a thought
a dream
or the memory of something
the heart has never forgotten
Yet, I love you
loosens my hold on time
on work... on purpose
on the careful discipline
with which we arrange our lives!
