Secret
When we looked back the city
lights were lit – the big factory
the patisserie in the central plaza
the gardens of the houses The three youngest men
had already taken off their shoes
The old man wasn’t pounding his cane anymore
The first one urinated by the tree The woman
“Why did I want to be with you?” she said
However she had taken along threads thimble
needle in a white plastic round little box
George stayed for last He was cutting his buttons
one by one I was the only one who saw him
I didn’t say anything to anyone I walked first
so that my smile wasn’t visible anymore
