YOUR FACE

        (ZURE AURPEGIA)

your face

is not a white sheet

because it has eyes

your eyes

are not dictionaries

because they don't chat with words

your lands

are woods

tree by tree

we say rain-odour

when it is ozone-odour

in favour of liberty:

ban

as it has eyes

the frost is an ear

strawberries are sweet

thanks to lemon juice

we say respect

to say rampart

we say distance

to say fear
