poetry falls
as pigment
on wet paper
.
creating a world
of beauty
.
marveling
at the smooth
escape door

Vision

I write
a ladder
to heaven
upward
I hold
as seen
in my morning
dream

Oltre
*
essere stesi
non sapendo
.
ma seguendo
il raggio col dito
l’occhio assopito
le schegge nel buio
.
dimenticate nel sasso
che tengo in tasca
.

Deep Into
*
to know the weight
of my heart through
my eyes you can see
.
how it makes my life
difficult the flight over
troubled landscapes
.
I’ve that anchor inside
that sinks me like a spade
deep into the human
.

A Tip

learn not to judge
just look at things
let them sink in as
images in a mirror

Discorsi
*
quanto stancano
i discorsi inutili
spesi per conoscersi
coscienze ubriache
addormentate
anche in sogno

Awakening

awakening to
having no
choice that
to have a job
that holds me
between the earth
and the sky

Summer Poems – Giving

dry leaves scattered
on the summer tall grass
unable to move

dead to
themselves ready
to mulch

withal giving

Inedita – Bellezza
Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
manco
nel narrare la bellezza
un attributo divino
.
le parole allineate come perle
.
pronte per essere collana
e io che non trovo
il filo
.
.

Summer Poems – We Stall
*
we stall through August
aside the rare days
when the sky thundered
the wind hissed and shout
and we run up and down
closing windows pulling
shades and lifting chairs
the following steps
were those of picking up
the tender plants uprooted
from the garden the scattered
tomatoes and plums
august with its singing nights
.

Summer Poems – The Dog
*
she huffs and puts her face
down lined up with the concrete
patiently waiting for me
to remember to feed her
as I read and write and forget
the cat comes protesting
instead loud and demanding
until I get up to feed them both
.

Secret Name
*
I dreamed my secret name
yes it was written
on a white stone
everything was crystal
clear then just like
the sky today harmony
coated and I felt so
relaxed so sleepy
.
I fell into another night
when I woke up I could
not make out the writing
and I got news of more
deaths more killings
more drowning crimes
.
if I could if I just could
tell everybody their
secret names
waking them up to life
.
.

La bellezza
Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
la conoscenza non è
l’intuizione della bellezza
non colpisce allo stesso modo
nè affonda come una radice sottile
nutrendo l’anima come
una pupilla dilatata che si apre
alla meraviglia
la bellezza è spontanea
.

Le ultime tre righe
Sunday’s posts are dedicated to Italian Poetry
*
mi adorna
un sorriso inaspettato
io che attendo poco e vivo
d’ora che esploro sorvolando
non trattengo nulla lascio
che il movimento accada e non ho
indirizzi punte di spilli o di matite
mi trovo felice tra le ultime tre righe
.
