Survival

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
