to Alexandra
On a night far away from yours
I’m under an ancient chestnut tree
pink feathers are mirrored on the sunset river
and the slow flow is bathing the Flamingo
At this time you’re combing your hair
craving for my hands
putting some Moon and make up on
to lie in bed and make love with my smell
In the windy darkness
the eyes of love and the smiles of joy
brighten up trees and shores
And while you’re dreaming of us and can’t fall asleep
I finally hear my arms singing
with the Nightingales
