Acque termali

  

                                                                Il fragore dell'acqua
                                                                inonda il vociare
                                                                di bagnanti in attesa
                                                                di sanare le ossa
                                                                consunte dal tempo,
                                                                bastardo, che avanza.

                                                                M'illudo di rinvenire
                                                                la mia giovinezza
                                                                girandomi indietro.

                                                                Non trovo nessuno
                                                               dei giorni svaniti,
                                                               gli amici, il futuro,
                                                               il viaggio iniziale,
                                                               con il vento e la pioggia
                                                               letali di sogni.

                                                              Vado a bagnare le ossa,
                                                               rivedo il diagramma
                                                               del tempo accaduto,
                                                               speranze, traguardi, illusioni.

                                                               Ora per ora, fotogrammi
                                                               di un film ancora
                                                               in programma.
