Ovunque ti trovi, spero tu non abbia freddo

Nevica

Se questa carezza
bianca
penetrasse ogni buio
vorrei imparare
a rinascere albero.
I miei capelli
danzerebbero piano
e miei pensieri
con loro,
silenziosi e chiari
finalmente.

Irene Marchi, da L’uso delle parole e delle nuvole, Cicorivolta Editore, 202
