dom gabrielli
the desert and the barren
grow rocks and sands
as the bushes burn
insects crawl so fast the earth seems to move
snakes and lizards hurry from invisible enemy
all the survivors
keep each other company
the cactus and the rosemary
thyme and the mirto
the euphorbia and the lentisco
we roam in this invisible company
sunlight and tramontana
rilke just one stranger amonst others
surviving has found its dialect
