Onore al Caduto

Io! Maestro dell'essere,

mente a scacchi,

pronta a muovere la prossima pedina

con apatia e ordine. Ordine.

 

Non implorerò, mai, di avere

un nuovo paio di occhi

che non vedano in bianco e nero,

magari solo meno ingenui, idioti.

 

Ormai non mi vedo più nello specchio:

spalle, alzate.

Schiena, inarcata.

Capo chino. Pietoso. Indegno!

 

** già tutto quello che mi serve:

mani di pietra e velluto,

una fronte, rugosa, che parla,

risate tra il folle, e il nobile. Nobile.

 

///

 

Me! Master of being,

chess mind,

ready to move the next pawn

with apathy and order. Order.

 

I will, never, beg to have

a new pair of eyes

that do not see in black and white,

maybe just less naive, idiotic.

 

I no longer see myself in the mirror:

shoulders, raised.

Back, arched.

Head bowed. Pitiful. Unworthy!

 

I already have everything I need:

hands of stone and velvet,

a forehead, wrinkled, that speaks,

laughter between the madman, and the noble. Noble.
