CLAUDIA PICCINNO

CLAUDIA PICCINNO

ON THE CABLES

They are exposed to the public domain

public and private feelings of digital natives.

No more pigeons

Neither moonlight serenades.

and yet the clothes are hanging out to dry,

hot is condensing

the desire to socialize

to ward off with a beep

the desolation of silences

too long retained.

Loneliness of today's days

Is getting quiet on the cables.

LEAVING AND COMING BACK

From sky to sea

and from earth to heaven

with perpetual and circular motion

I challenge squalls and winds

and I never retreat.

I am small and flexible,

I adapt to the current

I can't twirl like a snowflake,

nor will I rattle like a hailstone.

I am the outburst of the clouds,

I am the manna through the plowed fields,

I am the desire of young sparrows

in the heat of August.

I am a mosquito bite

for the angry stream,

I am a nun among other ones

in the placid river.

Deft I walk down to the sea

and there I dance

between the waves and the rocks

thinning myself one day

and embracing the sky.

Leaving and coming back

otherelse I couldn’t do.

MARE NOSTRUM

Ode to you

liquid cradle for the dreamers,

Muse" for painters and for novelists,

"Promised land"

for seagulls and fishermen!

Ode to you

silent mirror

for rebels and for pioneers,

"Caronte"

for the inflatable boats of strangers

Disturbed is your frenetic pulsing

because of the dross of the nuclear power plant.

Ode to the sparkling laughters of bathers!

Ode to the tickle that Grecale and Maestrale

test on the innocence of the wave.

Deaf and mute are the consciences

of the brave nocturnal helmsmen

Ode to you, Mare Nostrum,

ode to your improvising yourself

pentagram of a several voices chorus,

sounding box of quick lullabies,

main road of hope,

vibrant warning to avoid the the mattanza.
