Radio – California Notebooks

Posted on June 10, 2018 by anna mosca

A tiny taste of the radio interview I did in Milan, Italy, two weeks ago. The first poems is in English.

Un piccolo assaggio video dell’intervista all’Onda di Radio Navigli di Milano del 21-6-18. La seconda poesia è in italiano.

Text below/Testi a fondo pagina

*
I’ve seen rain
stepping on the sea
incessantly tapping

not able to carve
ancient holes

as on rocks
because it

was welcomed
it was welcome

*
ho visto la pioggia

camminare sul mare
bussava senza sosta

incapace di scavare
buchi antichi

come nelle rocce
perchè era

accolta
era ben accolta

Adding Notes

Posted on June 5, 2018 by anna mosca

*

I didn’t dislike
school most days

yet I was anxious
each day to go home
to have lunch while

reading – to then take a small
break after the meal – under
the sun on the balcony

reading again underlining
my dreams to come
adding notes to my

future days

Nata in sogno

Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry

*

vorrei essere casa
nel deserto

spalancata al nulla
in attesa

vulnerabile al vento che
mi riempie

di nulla
di sospiri di terre lontane

nata in sogno scrivo
e svanisco

The Birds Trills

Posted on May 29, 2018 by anna mosca

*

just before
I breathed in I was
breathing out

I run to this
place to be with you
you seem aloof

to life or to give
anything out afraid
even to receive

I play with the birds
trills as people rush
home from work

Un po’ di poesia

Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry

*
non voglio
che nessuno muoia senza
un po’ di poesia

un tono
d’amore o compassione
passione

ti auguro
l’urgenza di valicare
questa

soglia
mentre sei nella tua dimora una
bella pelle

desiderando che
arrivi quel tocco dall’alto

Ask Me Not

Posted on May 22, 2018 by anna mosca

*

let me dance
as the millipede
with no thinking

ask me not to
quit nor to explain
turn the other side

if jealousy abides
inside as I praise the
sky as the dance floor

non voglio

preludio di cielo

Drops Of Sun

Posted on May 15, 2018 by anna mosca

*
getting the usual
drops of sun
here
in the desert on
my joyful face

as I stretch a smile
over the very
blue sky a
silken scarf
to dance within

Split In Two

Posted on May 8, 2018 by anna mosca

*

I’m split in two

by the desire to
sit and meditate

and travel madly
to new landscapes

travel nonetheless

new either way
yet the excitement

of moving on the territory
yet the serenity

of exploring the nearby

the life of a poet
is that of cultivating
yourself so that poetry
may choose to visit you

I Will Not

Posted on April 24, 2018 by anna mosca

*

I will not
repeat what
flowers tell me

as I walk by
at sunrise

their opening
to daylight

exhaling joy
it will stay
as gentle breeze

compressed
in shells shapes

to the sides of
my curious head

Stretto dentro me

Posted on April 22, 2018 by anna mosca

*

sono rimasta senza
parole vero per una volta
ho trattenuto il fiato

stretto dentro me
unico appiglio rimasto
mentre ancora corro

Wisdom

Posted on April 17, 2018 by anna mosca

*
wisdom can be found
in forgetting

love is stitched on a
white canvas

an array of colors
red for bleeding

is an illusion to the eyes
it’s calm blue deep

within

and forgiveness
may be a life raft

Ceneri

Posted on April 15, 2018 by anna mosca

Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry

Una riga,
dentro una volta c’eravamo noi.

Ceneri
negli angoli di una stanza buia.
La notte

attendo che mi si racconti l’amore.
