Through the Hush
There is a quiet street up here
where teenagers that learn to drive
practice full braking every now and then;
where working people, in parked vehicles, are resting
taking a nap into the early afternoon,
turning their head if, rarely, a stroller might stop by.
Crows are looting, shamelessly, the public waste bins
or populate, in chatting swarms, the nearby fields
in which, apparently, a wild boar, has caused some damage
years ago.
It’s peaceful here, surprisingly, the city’s near and so
are the technical facilities of a state hospital;
peaceful as in vast facilities, widespread, of a hotel
that had been closed a century ago, and for mysterious reasons
is still maintained now – and by whom? I do not know –,
by staff, perhaps, immortal.
And invisible remain the daily deads that on some routes, discreet,
are being brought out to find some peace and quiet more downhill,
or in the city, or in hills nearby.
