The Security of Nevermore

as if the body destroyed
endure the decline you try to mend
when entering and exiting appointment
and pharmacies and bandages
and palliatives and medicines
and therapies and hopes
and absurd bets
after the unsynchronized years
the age and the intercurrence of the discomforts
as they say putting velvet over the thorns
silently waiting for something wonderful to emerge
from the left end of the brightest star
or else already giving up
sure it finally comes from the distant valley
a warm and fragrant wave
sedation like a fog
cozy and comfortable
that embraces all spoils
of the tortured organic machine
the skin tattooed in the pain of bad days
and drive friendly
in conformity with an almost joy
to the security of nevermore

Marco, in my humble opinion, this is an awesome piece of writing. Several of the phrases sparked the synapses as it moved from "the body destroyed" to "the security of nevermore." Damned good stuff!

my father is 88 years old and my mother is 80 years old. I have been following their physical decline, taking them to consultations, pharmacies, therapies, etc... it's a sad experience, as you can imagine. you know how it works: after a certain time, the human machine requires constant maintenance. I appreciate your words and know that they are very important to me, as I said before. Unfortunately I can't express myself in English the way I would like, I know that only constant dedication will make me improve the quality of my texts.
