Eolian Islands

 abandoned salt field

a lighthouse at the edge 

of an old fishing port 

the greenest sister* 

a formerly caper culture 

running into seeds

rocky landscapes 

premeditated nonchalance 

the island’s charm 

at every street corner 

exhilarating perfumes of 

flowers in abundance 

iodized sea air 

to recharge the batteries 

at the Tyrrhenian Sea 

volcanic island 

one of the seven sisters 

each unique 

a muddy bath 

after sightseeing the top 

at the foot of Volcano 

a pungent smell 

odors of sulfur emanates 

on our bodies too

butterflies hover 

the earth releases fire sparks

into the twilight

just like fireflies

sliding on black lava sand

headlamps at front

thousand and one stars

sparkles between wild rattan

and ashy clouds


unforgettable moments
that bubbling "earth" as well
the refreshing "granite"

* Aeolian islands "sette sorelle"
