Five Micropoems by Maria Teresa Liuzzo

Talk Me Again 

Talk me again

Between  gentle storm

Lost in the silver of sands

The season in the river of night

Humbles us.

If distances did not exceed memories

I hold you 

in long blinks of eyelashes

to the sweet warmth

of evey pearl.

□

A Child's Step

A Sewing the flaps

A gushing of water

That the wind knots

A child’s step!

□

Hope

Tell me

When you fell aspleep on my breast

And the sun was setting 

on the cushions

I held in them the last ray

and filled that weeping

which did not close 

the doors of hope!

□

Like the Sea

Shadows we are

Beating the clock

The throb of dawn

The river the sky.

Oh stars! burning on my  breast!

Gone days are coming

Tormented, yet full of you.

Oh, to die like the sea!

□

The Strong Beauty

The soul is a book

Quivering perfection

Beyond writing

At the top of the staff

The strong beauty

Investigator,

and no weeping is there

drowing her

nor learned joy 

that the evil

forgets the sorrow.
