At the first wailing of the stars,
torment penetrates the stillness
and inlays the soul
with gems of fable.
Prorompent,
sudden,
from the waves of time,
devoid of gravity,
emerges the ballast of life
and my poems without an audience
are resting on the wings
of a plea for love.
They are the Fates,
Clotho, Lachesis, Atropos;
they regulate the "thread" of my life.
Clotho spins the wool,
Lachesis winds the yarn,
Atropos cuts it,
thus determining
my birth,
my life,
my death.
They are
the symphony of my life,
a harmony basted
of faceless figures,
of myriads of poems,
ferine,
anchoritic,
harbingers of pulsating anguish,
among the glare of a gray,
chilly December.
No soul does not have
an Elysium toward which to soar
at the first warmth of dawn.
No soul does not have
an Elysium toward which to glide
at the first gasps of the evening.
All lovers
make great oaths
for the future.
All lovers
have droves of chimeras
who long for the freedom
of white seagulls.
The torment,
the excruciating torment,
imposed on me the altar of myself,
and so, I genuflected myself before God,
before Humanity,
like a humble ascetic
and I experienced
the sublimation of Being.
I plumbed
the meanders of my stillness,
hoping to find the truth there,
but only I found
diamonds of pain.
And meanwhile
from the sky descended
pearls of dew
to sprinkle,
to nourish
the winter roses
of my soul.
I even felt affection
for the Fates
who have chiseled
this earthly path of mine,
for this did not involve
gilded prisons that,
minute by minute,
disguised,
vainly
seduced my heart
toward the opacity of dazzling light.
The moon still sleeps.
An old question,
unsolved,
atrociously tormenting me:
why,
what is the use,
ideally to fly
in the nocturnal cosmos,
in an anaximandrian Apeiron?
** " Principle of beings is infinity,
from where, indeed, beings originate,
there they also have destruction according to necessity:
For they pay one another
the penalty and atonement of injustice
according to the order of time."
