Eternal

 

In between a gathered flower and the other presented

the inexpressable nothingness 

 

 

 Night of May

 

The sky crowns

the minarets

with garlands of nightlights

 

 

 Memory of Africa

 

The sun steals the city

 

You can't see it anymore

 

Not even the graves resist much

 

 

 Wake

Cima Quattro 23rd December 1915

 

A whole night

thrown next to

a comrade 

massacrated

with his mouth

gnashed

toward the full-moon

with the congestion

of his hands

penetrated

in my silence

I've writ

letters filled with love

 

I've never been

so much

fastened up on life

 

 

 This Evening

Versa 22nd May 1916

 

Balustrade of breeze

to lay this evening

my melancholy upon

 

 

 I'm a creature

Valloncello di Cima Quattro 5th August 1916

 

Like this stone

of S.Michele

so cold

so hard

so dried-up

so refractory

so totally

soulless

 

Like this stone

is my own cry

not to be seen

 

Death

you pay for

living

 

 

 Morning

Saint Mary La Longa 26th January 1917

 

I'm lightening

with Immensity

 

 

 Roses in a blaze

Vallone 17th August 1917

 

On an ocean

of ringings

unexpected

is floating another morning

 

 

 Clear

Wood of Courton July 1918

 

After a lot of

fog

one

by one

reveal themselves

the stars

 

Breathe I

the cool

that the colour of the sky 

leaves to me

 

I recognize myself

an image

going by

 

In a course

immortal

 

 

 Prayer

 

When I weak up

from the dazzle of promiscuity

in a clear and amazed atmosphere

 

When my burden grows to me light

 

The wreck will you grant me, my Lord

of that young day at the first shout
