The Moon is Dead<\/b><\/p>\n
Don\u2019t leave me alone
\nwith the moon\u2019s corpse.<\/p>\n
We murdered it togheter,
\ntwo robbers in the night,
\nstretched it out motionless
\nso we could hide
\nbetween its counterpanes of lights<\/p>\n
so our bodies would shine
\nfor ourselves alone.<\/p>\n
Non that love is dead,
\ni cannot all by myself drag
\nthis big body
\nno longer of warer or lights or words,
\nbut heavy with grayish sand
\nlike a drowned man.<\/p>\n
Don\u2019t leave me alone
\nwith this corpse of love.<\/p>\n
(translated from the Italian by Ruth Feldman) <\/p>\n
\nInstant<\/b><\/p>\n
Instant,
\ni close you in my fist,
\na quivering butterfly
\nwrenched from the flight of being.
\nInstant
\nyou can neither live
\nnor die
\nexcept in dreams.<\/p>\n
Instant,
\nDon\u2019t leave on my palm
\nyour rainbow dust
\nthat could rob
\nyour wings\u2019 transparence
\nof the power to take off again!<\/p>\n
