Today XXI

Today,
he started the day
immersing himself in the arts...

Three poems, he read
three poems by the master
the Alexandrian
scorned and dismissed by his time's pens...

One about Anthony
counting his last few breaths
in the beloved city...

Another with title in Latin
- CHE FECE... IL GRAN RIFIUTO -
regarding those refusing surrender...

The third of vivid memories
desiring mauve eyes
excited, palpating finger tips...

Inspired and moved
by the heavenly verses
the enchanting texture of the words
he wrote a poem himself...

Today,
he sits on poetry's coffin
and indulges on a piece of Mille-feuille...
