neve leggera…
quanto silenzio
fra le parole

light snow …

how much silence

between words

foglia nel vento…

suono dell’ombra

che s’allontana

leaf in the wind ….

sound of the shadow

that leaves

flauto dolce…
controcanto improvviso
d’un cardellino

sweet flute…
sudden counterpoint
of a goldfinch

lontana estate…

scivola sull’acqua

l’ombra che non c’era

distant summer…

glides on the water

the shadow that wasn’t there
