DAY BY DAY, THE DAY SLIPS AWAY
Amb. Diana Mehmeti
ITALY · ALBANIA
Day by day, the day slips away,
A speckled bird is lost along the way,
I have the Mediterranean sun in my blood,
Fear often grips me regarding my hopes,
For I do not deserve such disappointments!
For the disappointments are far from few,
“Friends” have put a lid on it all,
When the sun sinks low on the horizon,
They change their colors like the shifting weather.
I… like all the stubborn-headed ones!
I do not change my steps like the changing weather,
Even when I die like all the living,
When I enter the words like a single letter! I am more like the river,
I sleep only while wide awake!
Day by day, the day slips away,
I do not leave; I stay beneath the sod,
No, I do not age beneath the oak,
The wild beasts do not fear me,
Nor do I… give them a tho
