Her poem:
Secret of Lake Como

Fall in the heart of Lake Como
The beautiful girl falls to the heaven
A witch from the highest mountain follows her,
steals her breath
steals her long hair
steals her blue eyes

She is naked
because her long scream is
transformed into short verses,
into waves in the Lake
I step on a ferry,
chase after her,
catch all the waves – blue verses
and see her naked soul
Her tears from the holes of eyes
fall to the Lake, making it full
she can’t hide now,
I want to die now

Every morning I wake up, sitting next to the window by lakeside
I meditate by blue verses in the Lake Como
to start my long journey, to search for you,
the secret of Lake Como,
the beauty at the bottom of the heaven,
to make love with the witch
at 425 metres deep,
the ice melts.
