a wish

a life that feels like a secret
is the most austere thing i could wish for:
the unspoken holds, on the tip of our tongues,
the realization that the mystery is ours only,
and might trascend words and sunrises;
it'll come with us in our sleep,
fill up pages of the diary—
a life that takes up so much space
that no one else can live it for us.

a checklist

so tell me what would make you feel more alive:
a plunge deep into the early morning sea water,
a geniune cackle from someone you love, 
running up a hill,
a sunset?
