“As a pearl in the Indian Ocean” (2018) – Chapbook – Gloria Mannazzu – 14/16

THE BREATHING OF A BUDDHA 

The breathing of a Buddha
where I can expand
my silent wishes
secret options of future.

Take me to a hill
where no sound can reach us
we will be still
we will connect in a different way.

The lightness I feel
I will try to keep inside
when the waterfall is near
we all feel the drops on the skin.
