Classic and Contemporary Poetry


CONTINUOUS TIME by MILO DE ANGELIS

First Line: WE WERE CONSIGNED / LITTLE BOXES, IDENTICAL

We were consigned
little boxes, identical,
filled with milk, from no maternity.
They are warnings and completeness,
they are scraps. In the hour of a notebook, this
desiccated notebook. "The eyes
don't find me." Warnings and completeness. Of the one
who accompanied us on terrafirma
we all preserve the style.
