...
...
In memory of myself
…
…
Simply to have stopped.
…
as if I could begin
where my voice has stopped, myself
the sound of a word
…
I cannot speak.
…
so much silence
to be brought to life
in this pensive flesh, the beating
drum of words
within, so many words
…
lost in the wide world
within me, and thereby to have known
that in spite of myself
…
I am here.
…
As if this were the world.

…In mimoria di mè
…
…
Simpliciamenti, essa si fermu.
…
com’è se pudissi cumincià
indù s’hè ferma a me boci, ghje stessu
u sonu d’una parola
…
ch’ùn possu dì.
…
tantu silenziu
da purtà in vita
in sta carri pinsosa, battenti
tamburu di paroli
drintu, tanti paroli
…
persi in l’immensu mondu,
drintu à mè, è sapiutu cussì
che malgradu me stessu
…
socu qui.
…
Com’è se tal' fussi u mondu.
