uncertain age

under this suburban sky
then or before you realize
you have reached a certain age
when you start to prove nausea about the usual polished gray surface
all the same
and you start digging
with your bare hands digging

and when you start digging, you can no longer stop
and then you realize
that a new and uncertain age has begun
but you no longer fear
indeed you savor with pleasure
the good coolness and flavor
passing lightly
through that thin veil of  freedomness

Marco Bo
