*
wishing for one more
soundless day
.
swimming quietly
at the bottom of
a sea of written words
.
squealing and chirping
if any outside
.
the time held
between night
.
and day between
sleep and awakening
.
*
desidero un altro
giorno silenzioso
.
per nuotare tranquilla
sul fondale di un mare
di parole scritte
.
stridii e cinguettii
– ve ne fossero – fuori
.
il tempo sospeso
tra la notte
.
e il giorno tra
il sonno e la veglia
.

This is beautiful. I’m reading it in that corresponding time between day and night, and it leaves the reader suspended … wondering.
Thank you John for your comment. Very happy you like it and that it was read at the perfect time to create suspense!
