Noctiluca

The night was closed.
And the wounds open.
And I, who was going to be your father, searched without finding myself,
On a deserted beach.

I had that age when certainty expires,
And suddenly looking at the sea, I saw the sea shining with the glow of noctilucas.
Something of that amazement must have announced that you would arrive,
For I, from my ruins, just like the sea, felt that I phosphoresced.
I knew without understanding it of your anticipated joy,
One day you will understand that this dazzled song speaks of you.

Shine, noctiluca,
A point in the dark sea,
Where the light snuggles.
