wind-jacket

elisa kidanè

A wind-jacket
tries
in vain
to warm
your body
used
to the solar embraces
of a land
far away now.
You cannot even
control
the shivers
that shake
your heart.
Your lips hint at
a smile
leaving a glimpse
of white teeth
but a smile that dies
as soon as
it is born;
someone
passes by you
and you shy
as a child
caught in the act
lower your eyes,
the eyes
that down there
in a country
far away now
made so many girls
dream…

But
you can do
nothing
this
is the everyday
story
of those who
like you
cross frontiers
dreaming of
new worlds.
