"Wounded once and for all in silence
a long pain that concludes
without a song to prove it
who could stay by your side
so close to Eden
when you made shine in your eyes
the raised razor
making every ram and son tremble?
And now, the silent asylum
where shadows live in the beams
like bats tired of the day
until the zigzagging spirit
a radar signal, attracts them
as big as a mountain
on the white stone wall
to your tiny limping
how can I leave you in such a house?
There are no more saints and wizards
to praise their paths with pupils
no more demons to stun with the slap
of a red and moist tongue?
Did you confuse the Messiah in a mirror
and you rest because he has finally come?
Let me cry for help at your side, Master
I entered under this dark roof unafraid
like an honored son
enters his father’s house."
(Translation by Flavio Poltronieri)
