That moment

The translation of 'Le moment' was done meticulous, unfortunately the text lost its poetic sense but not it’s meaning.

There is that moment
that instant
that nails a life.
It only takes a breath
even if in memories
it seems to be an eternity.
It is only passing by but
leaves with traces .
At the same time it embeds
in memory as if it
was born there.

There was that moment.
It happened to me one day
not that long ago.
It changed everything
and then it disappeared
out of view.

I suddenly followed
a different direction.
I took an unexpected pulse.
It changed my walking,
my way of breathing.
It's almost to believe
that before
I did not really
existed.

And now
I wonder, I ask you
why did this happen (to me)?
Why
where you there
at that place, at that time?
and then immediately
left me?


We are born, we die
it happens at some moment
as the one I’m describing here.
There is a wound,
a scar somewhere
on my body in
my memory, 
that of a moment.
