While You Were Sleeping

When I asked for the night
someone went out running and screamed.
I was afraid,
I couldn't find your eyes:
everything was covered with dry leaves.

I shouted: "Bring me the obscurity!"
and after the last firefly
fell executed by a shoe,
I saw only the smoke hanging from a wire
looking at the emptiness with astonishment.

A winged apple flew by
and the clandestine air, fugitive,
imitating the drizzle, caressed me
and, singing, cautiously brought me to
your eyes that were sleeping beside me.
