BARBARA DI SACCO

 


 

ME, WATER

 

Legs go down

Soft steps in sands

and salt water

to embrace the body.

Slipping

In the folds of the sea

Seaweed tickle

and sweet meandering

up to above the ankles

Holds.

I have no weight

lying down I let myself be carried

fra onda and where

Heaven with the hint of the moon

is above watching.

Background resonates

of ancient and fluid speech

Listening by veiling

and mind submerged in peace

swimming and swimming.

You are here.

 

Io, acqua

 

Scendon le gambe

morbidi gradini in sabbie

e sale acqua

ad abbracciar il corpo.

Scivolando

nelle pieghe del mare

solleticar d’alghe

e dolce serpeggiar

sin sopra le caviglie

tiene.

Non ho peso

stesa mi faccio portar

fra onda e onde

il ciel con esil accenno di luna

è sopra a guardare.

Risuona il fondo

di parlar antico e fluido

l’ascolto velando

e mente sommersa di pace

nuota e nuota.

Sei qui.

 

Rotate

 

It's a ball

Turning, spinning

and never perfectly round

slips out of hand.

Rotates like a severed head

obliqua in monotonia

recurrently celebratory

of half a party.

The rebound of silence

from under the wardrobe

and then nothing more.

Chooses secrets

to look out

from several rooms

Where to be surprised

Against the walls

to disappear.

 

Ruotare

 

È una palla

che gira, gira

e mai perfettamente tonda

sfugge dalle mani.

Ruota come una testa mozza

obliqua in monotonia

ricorrentemente celebrativa

di mezza festa.

Il rimbalzo di silenzio

da sotto l’armadio

e poi nulla più.

Sceglie segreti

per affacciarsi

da più stanze

dove sorprendersi

contro i muri

per sparire.

 

BARBARA DI SACCO

 

BARBARA DI SACCO is an Italian poet and writer, born in Tuscany in 1964. She puts her own reflections on paper, various torments of her soul singing about love romantically and perhaps with a démodé heart, telling stories and languor. The dream is for her an arcane, mystical place where her poetry came to light...This is also one of his interesting stories.
