Mariella Bettarini
From the book by Mariella Bettarini "Balestrucci. Un racconto in versi"
(Firenze, Edizioni Gazebo, 2006)
Here come the eggs - here come
they are five also this time - in the tender - in the warmth -
(...)
and therefore together
they raise to flight a morning - together
they stamp their pens towards
the light - in the vertigo
of the turned upside down abyss
together they go
now they fly upwards...

Shoulder with me watches last night’s rain

My Heart Carries No Shield by Andrés Alfaro
My Heart Carries No Shield
My heart was forged in the fires created between two lovers
It grew and palpitated with desire through my childhood
and was nurtured by the gardens of my parents.
Today it pumps life through these young veins
Bringing sustenance and happiness to every cell and pore.
No shield protects the castle walls of this heart,
which is forever prone to the attacks of the cannons
of Love.

Small Sad Planet----Mahnaz Badihian
Today I can write
My happiest poem
And I can enjoy birds happy chirps
Seed by seed
Even in this world which is
A Small sad planet
Today every strand of my hair
Is wrapped in a poem And the light
Flashing in my eyes
Brightens my hands
Even in the darkness of
These rushfull days

Scent of wet earth : Poems by Cristina Contilli
translated by Olivia Bisegna Maher
SCENT OF WET EARTH
My poems,
translated in English
have the same scent as
wet earth in Autumn
after the rain.
a scent that wafts
through my imagination
along with the memories
of those mornings
when, still sleepy,
I opened my eyes wide
sitting at a high school desk.
