The Light

the road was morning fast we stop in the void interval between beaches the sun rising from the waves was twenty years in us and an endless bottle of champagne she talked nonsense it was the eighties 'I still don't look like anything I want to be' 'there are days that are as usual but not today' over the dunes everything seems minimal light dominates and overshadows the world a photon a flash this is transcendence I screamed in amazement but she wouldn't understand was already behind as spheres collided in the cosmos wandering comets whirled dizzily strange stars fled from gravity I really have this silly need to disintegrate in order to be able to compose myself

Marco, this poem screamed of adolescence to me. I suspect the youth of today will someday wake up and fine the "spheres [have] collided in the cosmos" and they "have this silly need to disintegrate in order to compose" themselves! I think all of us have "this silly need to disintegrate"... to compose ourselves at some point in life. Good stuff, my friend.
