ADOLESCENT FISHERMAN OF ENAMOURED OLD WOMEN

 Adolescent fisherman of enamoured old women
great fisherman of truffle
of girls happy as the sun
of some sure winner to gamble the soul.
I, the great hunter
the great handler of solitary nets
of nets for solitude
of special nets
to hunt
shy hearts.
Tired of seeing people die
hot-tempered
so many people
an afternoon in summer
I placed my silent nets
in the public parks
in the public streets
in the public bathrooms.
Afterwards I said to myself
time is necessary
I advised myself
to have a black coffee
every morning.
I advised myself to sit
I told a woman
to sit by my side.
Your fresh ass
I said to her
on the fresh ground.
We kissed each other with a grandiose kiss of love.
She told me about her ways of entertaining solitude.
Showing her legs or moving them
according to the cold or to our customs,
sitting by a man's side
and allowing ourselves to be touched
until we felt the need of becoming mothers.
Sometimes, it's understood,
we sell pearls to crazy men,
lost in the sun.
Oriental pearls
white pearls of love
pieces of pearls, placed
generally on our belly
pearls, in the end, in the form of two-string necklaces
to strangle in a better way
yes
she told me
violent pearls.
