just like sakuntala
lying on my own marble
i go insane
(at least according to the world )
secluded in a countryside asylum
where is my old lover
thief of hands and gestures
i'll be staying
here alone against my tears
pending on the panes of an angel
necessary but depleted of fingers

(italian version, from "Case di Lacca", 2013)

come sakuntala
sdraiata sul marmo di se stessa
impazzisco
(almeno secondo il mondo)
reclusa in un asilo di campagna
dov’è il mio antico amante
ladro di mani e gesti
me ne starò
qui sola contro le mie lacrime
sui vetri in attesa di un angelo
necessario ma sprovvisto di dita
