A POEM ON THE WALLS
IRMA KURTI (Italy)
I would like to write a poem on the
Damp and ancient walls of my city,
People always run, time challenges
Their steps with such great speed.
I’d like to write some verses, to be
Enjoyed while smoking a cigarette,
To be read while sipping coffee,
A line in one’s mind will remain.
A short poem whose every verse
Highlights the joy, light, and love,
Awakening the people and the cold
City walls from their long slumber.
