Giovanni Malito
from Synesthetics
(i)
to locate
the scent
of the moon
is the reason
you look up
at night
(ii)
you taste
sunshine
your tongue
tingles
with nothing
it must say
(iii)
hypersensitive
touching air
hand opened
is then closed
squeezing atoms
and molecules
you touch origins
of everything
(iv)
some molecules
have sharp edges
and you taste
what you think
you cannot see
(v)
watching her
your daughter
playing with the other
children
in the park
you hear the circus
music precisely
stereophonic
in your head
(vi)
bad taste
in your mouth
bad d
r e
a
m
(vii)
pitch black
moonless night
you see every-
thing you hear
and you taste
only little of
what you fear
