"Homage to Piotr Ijlic Ciaijkovskij"
______
The moon of San Benedetto
da Norcia.
"San Benedetto, by night"
...No distance tonight,
no confusion,
no mind,
no black list
of red devils,
only fresh water
...of the Sordo river
plays with a little butterfly,
with byrds and wolves,
with me and You alone,
between forest and sky
...Benedetto!
When the society
begin to fall...
when the stars,
all together now,
singing in the light
of the new Messiah.
(Dedicated to Carlo Sgorlon, Cassacco
Sandro Penna, Perugia,
Boris Pahor, Trieste))
