sitting
hushed – heat isn’t the cause
.
willfully watchful of this silence
pregnant of barely perceptible sounds
.
the sky one solid color
.
velvety wings moving
producing no noise they found
no obstacle
.
not even the humming birds
make noise I rest at last
.
desire raises
.
not to move
ever abiding surveilling
the light severing the valleys
when it falls
.
.
*
resto
immobile e non per il caldo
.
per osservare meglio questo silenzio
denso di suoni appena percettibili
.
il cielo un colore unico intenso
.
vedo ali vellutate muoversi
senza rumore, non trovano ostacolo
.
neppure il colibrì fa rumore
finalmente riposo
.
il desiderio sale
.
di non volersi muovere
mai più per restare a osservare
la luce cadendo tagliare le valli
.
