MORNING
Lorenzo Vantaggiato
October 2002
I
direct the sunrise
Down by a small lake in the mind
With a brisk yet gentle intention
of simplifying this morning haste
made of thoughts and a wandering line in time
A newspaper by a cup of coffee
A dirty teaspoon holding a bit of foam
A small poetry book in my backpack
The enchanted garden of bears unfolding
right here on this tram.
