Instant
Instant
In an instant,
suddenly,
the wind rises and runs wild,
and a violent blast
shakes the whole forest,
leaving its branches bare of leaves.
For an instant,
offhand,
the wind stirs the hair on your forehead,
we no longer see the landscape,
glances intersect
and our minds are spoken in secret.
For an instant,
with blind impulse,
we know how important the now is.
Far away are the reproaches,
a can’t is a yes I want
and our mouths melt very strong.
At this precise moment.
