by Miranda Bona

I miei piedi son stanchi
Language: Italian (Italiano) 
I miei piedi son stanchi e doloranti:
"Dove mi conduci, Amore?"
I miei occhi son velati di sonno:
"Che c'è in questo buio?"
Le mie mani tese brancolano nel buio:
"Dove siamo?"
Ho paura della notte;
Fantasmi giganteschi s'alzan dinnanzi a noi.
Sento urli di belve.
Un vento gelido sferza il volto.
Tu non rispondi alle mie domande:
Ti fermi, sorridi, mi baci.
Io ti sorrido e ti seguo senza più parlare.
