spoken word version
dedicated to Rachel Corrie, with love & determination

lyrics

"Alles ist Eins", Reiner Maria Rilke

Un giorno, al limitare del bosco,
uniti in solitudine
e festanti, come fiamme,
lo sentiamo: Tutto è uno.

Saldi dentro il nostro abbraccio;
in mezzo a distese in ascolto
attraverso le morbide vesti
cresceremo come rami gemelli.

Il risveglio di un soffio di vento
culla l’oleandro in fiore:
vedi, ormai non siamo diversi da lui
e a quel soffio anche noi ci culliamo.

La mia anima avverte
che indugiamo alla porta.
Si sofferma e ti chiede:
Mi hai portata fin qui?

E ti affiora un sorriso
così lieto e felice
e subito proseguiamo nel cammino:
porte che si schiudono…

E svanisce per sempre ogni dubbio,
la nostra via non sarà più dolore,
sarà un lungo viale oltre tempo
del giorno trascorso.


"Poppies in October", Sylvia Plath

Neppure le nuvole assolate stamattina riescono a dare gonne come queste.
Neppure la donna nell’ambulanza
il cui rosso cuore sboccia così stupefacente dal cappotto.

Un dono, un dono d’amore
del tutto non richiesto
da un cielo

che pallido e infiammato
accende i suoi monossidi di carbonio, da occhi
che si arrestano torpidi sotto le bombette.

O Dio, che cosa sono io
perché queste bocche tardive si spalanchino a un grido
in una foresta di gelo, in un’alba di fiordalisi?
