The poetic penguin café (2.12)
Flux
Life is… remembering a sad awakening
on a train at dawn: having seen
the uncertain light outside: having felt
in the broken body the virgin and harsh
melancholy of the sharp air.
But remembering the sudden liberation
is sweeter: near me
a young sailor: the blue
and white of his uniform, and outside
a sea all fresh with color.
Sandro Penna (1906 – 1977)
