80 Summers

Oh where are you going?

Back to that place where a ring was a dream and ambition was delusion

Oh I see you’re trembling

I’m stirring old memories you left in the past for a reason

He loved but he never knew

There was much more to you

If you could start your story 80 summers later

Would you add in a different chapter?

Anna Maria

Oh that piece of writing

Hidden in that chest of yours I found as I empty the drawers

Old letterings tell tales of awards you kept all through the wars

You loved but you couldn’t stand

To lessen the man

If you could start your story 80 summers later

Would you add in a different chapter?

Anna Maria

Anna Maria

Anna Maria

Anna Maria

What about dreams?

What about recognition?

What if I scream?

Your sad confession

You lived so many things so I could learn

Would you add in a different chapter?

Anna Maria

Anna Maria
