Lybra Power
by Franco Bertucci
He is gone
and just as I finish putting out the fire he started in my living room
I come to my senses,
and ask myself what strange power had me apologizing to him
for all the smoke in my house,
and what stranger power, even, makes me hope
that he will come back someday to start another fire,
over which we can write songs
and roast things.Poems and other embarassing things. 2010 Franco Bertucci
