Far From Kingdoms

Far from kingdoms
how steady is the room!
Come, breathe close with me
so I may discover the sweetness
of many imperfections, some missing
tooth, some extra wrinkle, and your body
worn our slightly by carelessness.

by Patrizia Cavali b. 1947
translated from the Italian by Judith Baumel
