ISABELLA SORDI

 


 

Women Of June

 

Under the arbour in June

Renoir’s little girls

await the summer

in their light clothes.

Wallflowers and lilacs

and wisteria eyes.

The women of June are woven

into a garland of desires an passions.

Heady scents

and fragility of the flower.

Never give up.

The women laugh, laugh

and toast to life.

On Monet’s pond

June water lilies

shine.

 

Blue Ocean

 

Blue Ocean of tears,

what will become of you

if we are no longer able

to save your creatures,

the divine beauty

of your abysses,

the harmony of silence

in the depths

from which life was born?

You, spirit of Titan,

child of Sky and Earth,

in the eternal motion of the waves,

between rebirth and purification,

vastness of purity

that rises

in the roar of the storm

and calms when the sun

pierces it with its light,

hear us!

Let men still believe

In the happiness of dolphins.
