[Project 52 - 32/52] 0170 partire prima / leaving before

partire prima

 

 

Forse tu

avevi ragione, sai

partire prima

per non vedere

un sole acceso

e poi spento il terreno d’intorno

e polvere brillare

nera

nella luce opaca.

 

Ecco, io

penso a Venezia

spatolata nel quadro

penso alle foto, ai sorrisi

coi tulipani rossi a guardare

mentre nel cuore

poche note di piano

accompagnano lente

una quaresima ancora.

leaving before

(my translation is only a faint attempt to render in English an Italian born text)

 

Maybe you

you were right, you know

leaving before

to not see

a sun on

and then the ground around off

and dust shines

black

in dim light.

 

Here I am

I'm wondering Venice

spatulated in paintings

I think the photos, the smiles

with red tulips that look

while in the heart

few piano notes

are slowly accompanying

another Lent more.
