Poetry in slow motion

It has become

an ordinary ritual.

To live and give

by letters, thoughts

and emotions.

The day, starts,

comes and goes, away,

I have been seeing

these days, whole of my life,

slower I walk, talk

and give my hand.

By now, not the very right hand,

is my most important horse-trait.

The left hand,

nice, soft

well thought,

has, probably

certainly been

a family treat.

And slow, I cross streets,

look in blue skies and close,

try to rest

during the night.
