Far from the Blades

by Ivan Pozzoni / July 19th, 2026

I will end up shredded, recyclable refuse,
along the roads of a sanded-down career,
inside the infernal rings of an opaque landfill,
an animal with only one life, no demilitarized zone
from inherited merit, no escape route.

Do you really think I will ever stop
howling what I see outside and feel inside,
that I will ever stop suffering?

Even far from the blades,
I tremble.
