"sinistra" poems
Metà segreteria
soviet o comitato
ai cani sciolti, al volontariato
ai centri sociali, agli operai
a chi non molla mai
a chi fa opposizione
anche se non è inquadrato
dalle direttive prese,
dalle telecamere accese.

Lui si atteggia da grande,
sembra che pensi, sempre,
si vede dalle sue espressioni
le idee che gli passano per la testa.
Il suo sguardo si muove veloce,
da destra, a sinistra, a destra ancora,
molto brutti e cattivi i suoi occhi,
solo un poco ingenui, liberi.
Forse ha paura, si vede,
ha le spalle alzate,
un po’ piegato in avanti,
con la testa bassa. Triste. Ma contento.
Ma all’improvviso si trasforma:
si muove come un prestigiatore,
le sopracciglia saltano come grilli,
e tante risate tra il barbone e il prete.
///
He acts like a grown-up,
he seems to be thinking, always,
you can see from his expressions
the ideas that pass through his head.
His gaze moves quickly,
from right, to left, to right again,
very ugly and evil his eyes,
just a little naive, free.
Maybe he is afraid, you can see it,
his shoulders are raised,
a little bent forward,
with his head down. Sad. But happy.
But suddenly he transforms:
he moves like a magician,
his eyebrows jump like crickets,
and lots of laughter between the ***** and the priest.

Solene
Sinistra
Saluta
Subsequente.
Presente.
Perpeplexa.
Promiscua.
Proeminente.
Valente.
Voraz.
Vaidosa
Vidente.

I heard on NPR World of a father with twins
Two freshly minted
Pennies shiny not
found left in the street
forgotten in the tray
like loose and expendable
change
In
August
16 (222*2)
2024
I heard news of >40K (225*2)
asymmetrical deaths
Mohammad Abu Al-Qumsan
remembers the prime 11
He was smitten by her
in October
11 (two nickels + one penny)
2022
They married on the Island of Gaza
He remembers they wedded
In July
2023
Sometimes
in August
2024
symmetry was broken
Jumana gave birth to
a boy, Asser
a girl, Ayssal
Four (2*2) days later
Mohammad, the accountant lost all his coins
We are sinistra with change
