Amsterdam Wide Dreams<\/h1>\n

by Alessandro Cusimano<\/p>\n

a lovely girl brings home her puppet
\nboyfriend
\nand plays with him<\/p>\n

the tall convex space appears turquoise
\ndraws a sinuous line
\nsensual on the perimeter
\nsteeped in the events of others<\/p>\n

is the profile of a sea wave
\nvillain of the most beautiful seawater
\nensures the persistence of blue<\/p>\n

the opposite of darkness is spreading
\nslowly
\nthe wave breaks regular
\nlong
\nsmooth<\/p>\n

has a changing effect
\nhands out colours<\/p>\n

the night owns the future<\/p>\n

forgives the guilt
\nmultiplies the fixed and reflected light
\nsurrounds the vaporous game
\nunties a curtain<\/p>\n

after dark
\nyou look and measure the content
\nof mirrors
\nthe anxiety of angels goes on stage
\nthey have memory
\nremind all<\/p>\n

the vibrations are perpendicular
\npenetrate the skin
\na mass of water rises and falls
\nis female
\nable to overwhelm the spectator
\nwith the honesty of her sins
\nunder a dim light
\nso as not to be seen
\nso you do not see the others<\/p>\n

there is a glare
\nvision is complex
\na comely light
\ndouble<\/p>\n

the volume of the music is consumed
\na ruby-throated hummingbird flies free<\/p>\n

growing soft folds follow the trend
\nthe long radius
\nthe imagination to reach
\nthe underside of the tables<\/p>\n

steel and water
\ndeposit the gray and blue
\nin the depths of the deepest eyes<\/p>\n

wooden puppet head is sitting
\non himself
\nhis face is opalescent
\nflattered
\ninspired by a happy melodrama<\/p>\n

built on the water<\/p>\n

\nAlessandro Cusimano was born in Palermo, Italy, on July 2, 1967. He lives in Rome, where he is writer, poet, playwright. Anarchist and visionary, painful and surreal, his works reflect on anxiety, crush conventions and illusions, proclaiming, with a barrage of words, that life is, by its nature, a scandal. Appeared recently on the international literary stage, some of his writings have been published by The Cynic Online Magazine, Decanto Magazine, The Recusant, FOLLY Magazine, Exercise Bowler, Streetcake Magazine, Bewildering Stories, Numinous Magazine, Deadman’s Tome, RED OCHRE Lit, Orion’s Child Magazine and Black Cat Poems.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
