SENTIMENTAL IMPONDERABILITY by Tatiana Ernuteanu

A blue room 
Divided in spring and north 
The shadows of your smile, low light, 
The curly braces of the cigarette smoke besieges 
Love is a country without chief 
The wait rains in my bed 
Why did you build walls for me 
if I’m uninhabited? 

If we glued our palms, would the life-lines also stick? 

The city was left 
The life moved on Mars
All the people I could love are gone with you
All the children that you were carrying in your eyes, are gone too
All the sorrowful fruits of which I was crushing my lips in February
The hills made scars, it was drought on the coast and on my ribs
And I have to learn to walk on tiptoe not my bruises to be heard
The skin is not wise

I wonder:
if we glued our palms, would the life-lines also stick?
