ISABELLA SORDI

 

 

Blood Moon

 

Blood moon,

round like evil,

red with shame,

enemy of dreams,

poisonous ruby.

Where is Peace?

My chalice

is full of sorrow.

 

La Riviera

 

Come and see the beautiful Riviera,

its skyline

full of buildings

which rise up to the sky;

look at the joyful blue sea,

admire the golden beach

where children are playing.

The other children,

who once were playing as well,

have now fallen into oblivion:

those ones,

who have been swallowed up

by death

into the black hole

of our indifference.
