UNENDING LOVE / IUBIRE FARA SFARSIT
I seem to have loved you in numberless forms, numberless times…In life after life, in age after age, forever.My spellbound heart has made and remade the necklace of songs,That you take as a gift, wear round your neck in your many forms,In life after life,...

ESEMPI / EXEMPLE / EXAMPLES
Anima, sii come il pino:che tutto l’inverno distendenella bianca aria vuotale sue braccia fiorentie non cede, non cede,nemmeno se il vento,recandogli da tutti i boschiil suono di tutte le foglie cadute,gli sussurra parole d’abbandono;nemmeno se la neve,gravandolo con tutto il pesodel suo freddo candore,immolla le fronde...

COSA FAI SEDUTO SULLA PORTA DI CASA / WHAT ARE YOU DOING SITTING ON THE DOORSTEP / CE FACI STAND IN PRAG
Cosa fai seduto sulla porta di casacome un sorvegliante di orizzonti?Sto badando al tramonto.Pregusto quest’ora scorsoia. I suoi ultimi suoni arancio e d’uva.Quest’alcol incerto tra l’acqua e il vino.E...

SCRIVO / SCRIU / I WRITE
Scrivo con gli occhi chiusie gli occhi aperti.Con le orecchie tappate e spalancate.Scrivo con le narici a ventosacome fori cavernosie coi pori all’attenti.Scrivo senza perché né per chi.Anche se è un sasso, uno scarafaggio o una foglia a cominciare il suo canto.Scrivo perché c’é carta...

Give me an amuletThat keeps intelligence with you,Red when you love, and rosier red,And when you love not, pale and blue.
Alas, that neither bonds nor...

Franciscae meae Laudes / Francescai laudele mele
Novis te cantabo chordisO novelletum quod ludisIn solitudine cordis
Esto sertis implicataO femina delicataPer quam solvuntur peccata !
Sciut beneficum LetheHauriam oscula de teQuae imbuta es magnete

Piscina plena virtutisFons aeternae juventutisLabris vocem redde...
