Post Mortem

 

Puçol (València, Spain), November 2022

Almost thirty years of my life, three years ago,

thinking, feeling, being a certain way

do complicate finding the way back

to being like I used to be when alone.

It is already time to be myself again,

complete without the company from a past

which will never ever become present again.

Almost thirty years being a part of two,

though almost thirty years, too, by myself,

growing, maturing, alive.

I am at last able to let go

of what once was and is now no more;

I rely on my destiny to lead the way,

to teach me once again to be, to feel.

I take my first steps into my home

to seize from my place now rebuilt

the life which in dark times

seemed an impossible challenge,

the life which I now enjoy

as the beautiful gift it really is.
