Frequent Short Term Headaches

I often speak of love






I often speak of love And I, when I feel so lightly
offer such a serious problem,
horrified.

Love is something that can reverse history, can condemn a soul

or make it go up to heaven:
is a matter of luck.
Love is a winged pyramid
well with deep roots in the ground.
Love and death are the same.
The man in love does not know its fate:
knows who was shot to death
a historic event,
knows he can die,
for love is a miraculous occurrence.


Alda Merini
