One winter day a robin,
tired and frozen by the cold,
he was looking for a solid branch
that would allow him to rest
for a few hours under cover of
last yellowed leaves
and not yet torn
from the wind, before resuming
the flight to milder climates
but all the trees refused
to host him. The Calicanto
he took pity on him and welcomed him under his
last leaves to warm it up.
