Rest
Sidewalk
Twice

CHILD SOLDIER


Let me rest at the sidewalk of life for a while
make nature embrace me
with silence and sun

He passed me twice
almost without noticing me
before he put his stengun at my head

the frailty of excistence
trembling at the horizon

I was sitting there
not moving
only the silence
and his tweaking shoe

I looked at him
saw the world reflecting in his eye
and me

a child now he passed on
