RIC BASTASA Poems

if angle x with
45 degrees
has a 3 m-side
line on the opposite
...

unannounced you come home
bringing all the scruples inside your head

you stay somewhere else
...

secrecy is a room
gaping

when i enter this morning
...

now that we are here
inside this dark room

i give you the right
...

there is a sorrow that i do not want to speak
it is something that i cannot give away

there is time that keeps on going and if i stay
...

FINALLY you tell me
you like an empty house
something minimal
all white with no curves
...

when i appear to you
one of these days

what is it that you want to see?
...

of all the words
love is beautiful and life is promising

what you left was only
...

that is the impression from the beginning
when i started to scribble
word, and more words, i assured her that they do not
mean anything at all just
...

something forbidden
becomes so delicious in the mind
the suspense of deprivation
makes it more desirable
...
