for your doubts
by Alina Rizzi
return to your time
without turning to you
find again convinced the death calm
that you loved
recover the tears in the days
that I had
don’t repent:
I have painted for you a winter
of bread and comets
of lands blanketed
not still reaped
in the darkness inventing
to paint the sun
don’t turn to you:
the regret petrifies
for us it is too much late
