199: a good poem.

"now leave me alone.
now learn to do without me.

i'm going to close my eyes.

and i want five things only,
five favourite roots.

one is endless love.

the second is to see autumn.
i cannot be if the leaves
don't fly and fall to earth.

the third is solemn winter,
the rain i loved, the caress
of fire on the wild coldness.

in fourth place, summer,
round as a watermelon.

the fifth thing is your eyes.
i don't want to sleep without your eyes.
i don't want to be if you're not looking at me:
i'd give up spring
for you to keep on looking at me." - p.n
