| Il gelso nero
Emilio Paolo Taormina
L’arciere del dissenso * invisibile come monete d’oro su occhi di statua avverto dentro il tuo rumore * stelle per mille e mille notti avete accompagnato i passi della mia solitudine questa sera vi vedo rugose come le mie mani * lenti i giorni l’uno sull’altro come giornali che non si leggono più |

Emilio Paolo Taormina
The archer of my dissent * invisible like golden coins on eyes of statues inside I feel your clamour * stars for thousands and thousands of nights you have accompanied the strides of my loneliness tonight I see you furrowed like the back of my hands * slowly the days one upon the other like newspapers that are no longer read Translation ©Matilda Colarossi 2018 |
