CARMEN MOSCARIELLO

THE IVORY DOOR

You are my little Buddha

I turn you from sleep to light

drawing in the firmament

the dream of you

sunflower of beautiful loves

Leonardo, little Buddha

and I'm happy grandma

I dance with you until dawn

tumbalalaika

at the time, tin tin tintan

from da-da-re Leonardo ta-ta-ta

I play with your silver fingers

on a cameo plane

the notes migrate, run

gallop among valleys and rivers

and I'm still a child

while I sing the gift of you.

STRUMENTUM SCRIBENDI

The wait long invasive

incidences of Advent

it is the enchantment of the new light

and from that time the gaze transpires

Advent of distant stories

of new tenderness, of silent fluids

of stones in the magic of foliage

It waits suspended the advent of autumn and

the wind is silent in the arms of the fluids comets

we pass suspended

we live

the waiting in the womb sings life

the heart is clear

beats the wait

ancient odors vaporize

and I caress the tender gem

he will come, he will also come to feed

this year of joys

and light in the smoke of the fireplace.

IF I COME TO LOOK FOR YOU

Oh my past, I will join my hands

so that I can finally

drink at the sun cup to never meet you again

finally I can loose you in empty buildings

in the thick morning fog

in the sick eye of the white stone

where rests the mystery dream and some detail

in my being an ancient daughter of vagueness

for a time that is not, nor it is neither it will ever be.
