L'amore comune [English translation]

Life for her, in any case, is

having the place fixed on Saturday to run off

maybe a trip to the mall,

an aperitif at the cultural center

Love, for her, isn't important, that is,

a film at the cinema or a photograph

is enough to make the eyes sparkle

because everything was closed in these gestures, gestures.

Love on bicycles

Love with tight shoes

Love is not

Love and blue jeans

Love doesn't pretend

(it never pretends)

Love with narrow shoulders

Love on demi-pointe shoes

Love is not

Love is like this

Love doesn't give up

It never gives up

Life for him, in any case, is

the free Thursday to make love at his house

the play, smoke, books, exams

curriculum, seasonal contracts

Love, for him, isn't important, that is,

a kiss at the seaside or a one-night stand

is enough to make happy

the records of ugly scars.

Love has open legs

Love doesn't forget anything

Love is not

Love is like this

Love doesn't pretend

(it never pretends)

Love without the blankets

Love under the t-shirts

Love is not

Love is like this

Love doesn't give up

It never gives up

Are we to expect anything more?

When would just a bit of time together again be enough?

Would just us and not saying a word be enough for us?

Shared love

Love under the thunderstorms

Love of the different and equal

Love is not

Love is like this

Love doesn't pretend

(It never pretends)

A love that has red cheeks

A love of broken bones

Love is not

Love is like this

A love that doesn't give up

It never gives up
