Maggese

September, you left me with a message
And I didn't say anything: the right things
Don't really need many words
October, today October arrived with its black coat
And it's raining on the windows where millions of lonely people
Go back and forth, looking for the present
Searching for an answer to this mirror-like November sky
December, it had been months since the sun came out
'It's always so hard,' you used to say, 'love'
They might change names but you, month after month more
You're present
What will I have if the night gives me nostalgia?
If I don't have imagination
I can't choose!
Every time every maggot that returns
To give life to a seed
Will be a new life for me!
Memories: you can keep them in your head
Or hide them in a wallet
But there are those who forget them in dreams
Wake up! January comes quickly
The snow is what's left of February
Of a cunning recurrence
A kiss is just a kiss
And March is a promise
But for someone the first rose of May
Is a discovery
Summer, it had been months since the sun came out
'It's always so hard,' you used to say, 'love'
They might change names but you, month after month more
You're present
What will I have if the night gives me nostalgia?
If I don't have imagination
I can't choose!
Every time every maggot that returns
To give life to a seed
Will be a new life for me!
Will be a new life for me!
New life for me!
