EVE

Just before

the first bite

she has no shame

in her garden

her tiny wrists

limp and pure

as stems of white lilies

and baby's breath

kissed with morning dew

Enraptured

by the serpent's

crimson seduction,

it's already too late,

though the forbidden fruit

is still untouched

by porcelain fingers

His blood red venom

engulfs her innocence

stings her flesh

with intrigue

and desire

Frozen

her doll-like structure

created for man

hesitantly reaches

for her independence

as she salivates

for the pomme's verboten nectar

before

she takes

the first bite

SCHEGGE

I pezzi del mosaico della mia vita,

esplodono in frammenti color avorio e cremisi

per ricomporre la memoria del passato

e la speranza nel futuro.

Schegge impazzite si sovrappongono

al rigore della mente, si rincorrono

nei tortuosi  meandri del caso

per specchiarsi nelle quotidiane solitudini.

Tutto converge verso un centro,

agognato e sconosciuto,

dove l’attimo radioso si cristallizza.

Il silenzio ristora l’anima e acquieta il cuore.

Albarosa Bertoli
