STORIES OF SADNESS – STORIE DI TRISTEZZA
The stories these walls could tell
of days long, long ago
territorial days
long before statehood days
childhood and old age days
laughter heard among the clan
happiness and sadness tears
run freely – together
farewell, old house
you with the haunting emptiness
boards gone missing – gaptoothed windows
tell me your stories, be they happy or sad
but tell me your stories, true.
