Riconciliazione

Forgive me mother
For I’ve been away so long
Among the big concrete blocks
and its dark streets
I’ve been trapped.

They have consumed me,
they made me nervous, violent,
and made me lose patience.
But I can’t take it anymore,
so I came back.

Help me to stop,
stop and look around me,
just look.
How insignificant can everything seem,
but how great can it get
inside of me.
If I try,
if I devote myself.

I need to get away,
stop paying attention to the vibrations
of a piece of metal,
and listen to you.
