I almost went to bed
without remembering
the four white violets
I put in the button-hole
of your green sweater
and how I kissed you then
and you kissed me
shy as though I’d
never been your lover

Poem
I almost went to bed
without remembering
the four white violets
I put in the button-hole
of your green sweater
and how I kissed you then
and you kissed me
shy as though I’d
never been your lover

Ero quasi andato a letto
senza ricordare
le quattro violette bianche
che avevo messo nell’asola
del tuo maglione verde
e come ti avevo baciata allora
e tu mi avevi baciato
timida come se non fossi mai stato
il tuo amante
