Dream on

Yesterday I dreamt
of the boy
I have not seen
and have not been able to forget
for a long while now.

(Is one really a boy over 20?

I always call him that)

It was tender and short

and we both kept on

appearing and disappearing

only to find each other again.

I remember caressing the back of his knee

asking him whether he minded

      -he did not-

and laughing and telling him

"Sei ubriaco!"

as he stumbled slightly

then sat down heavily

by my side.

It made me a little sad

and yet

if you see me passing by

you'll notice that I'm smiling.
