una volta

facevo parte di mio padre

a anche facevo parte di

mia madre

 

più tardi anche

se non letteralmente

fui parte di altri

 

più avanti sarò parte

delle radici degli alberi

contribuirò alla folgorante

bellezza dei fiori

 

sarò parte dell’acqua

su nel cielo da qualche

parte per tutto il tempo

io ero parte di dio ma

 

qui tu ti irrigidisci

di colpo e obbietti

che non posso

 

provarlo

I Was Once

Posted on by

I was once

part of my dad

and also part of

my mother

 

later but not so

literally I was part

of someone else’s

 

further I will be part

of the trees’ roots

contributing to the

flowers’ beauty

 

part of water

somewhere in

the sky all along

I was part of god

 

but here you

stiffen and say

I cannot

 

prove it

Finding Rest

to soar up
above all

where stars
wait on the night

to pasture blue
clouds unkempt

where prayers
roam before

finding rest

Behind The Full Moon

Posted on by

I could just imagine
the stars heaped up
behind the full moon

I could see them
scattered a geography
of the desert sky

some move my eyes
as across a landscape
an imagined horizon

Dietro la luna

Posted on by

Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry

*
posso solo immaginare
le stelle ammucchiate
dietro la luna piena

le posso vedere
sparpagliate la geografia
del cielo nel deserto

i miei occhi si spostano
nel buio come sopra un paesaggio
un orizzonte immaginato

Shining Bright

Posted on by
Standard

*

it’s an afterward
moving

this of giving poetry
a way

to talk about the beauty
lingering

unseen
sensitivity shining

bright
in our darker days

when we
think there’s little

to be seen

Sleepy Grass

Posted on by
Standard

*

pensive hazel eyes
flickering around
the night where

perfumes sail to
the clouds away

from the cracking
tiny sound of bare foot
on sleepy grass

Random Cloud

Posted on by
Standard

*

Ithink I’ve lost

that power within

and from above

 

I believe I am

fog that endures

with darkness

 

I think I have

missed the wind

on my sail

 

a random cloud

fair and heavy

to stay away

 

from everything

from you from what

I do not count anymore

 

and I’ve left behind

Risveglio

Posted on by

Sundays are dedicated to Italian Poetry.

*
non mi liscio i capelli
scomposti dal sonno
arruffati i pensieri non
seguo le parole altrui
i miei sogni mi tengono
vacillo tra i passi lenti
