I wouldn’t like anything else now

I wouldn’t like anything else now
except to love you
and feel your body very near.

I wouldn’t like anything else now
except your smile
and not a breath of air between you and me.

I have nothing else now
except this room;
and only a little mine
the light through the shutters.
Yesterday in the street I lost
both words and songs
and this morning I am so empty…

A buzzing of flies
makes the windows smile,
and the wind fi lls with leaves
a transparent garden.
Far away, that, from you and me,
as if it were a pleasing cloud.

I wouldn’t like anything else now
except to love you
and feel your body very near.

I wouldn’t like anything else now
except your smile
and the wind would take away the song
from my lips.
