Non hanno più dimora
le lacrime notturne…

se solo avessi
un ramo ancora in fiore
di pruno o pesco
potrei incatenarvi
questi versi randagi

Shadow Play
A haiku sequence based on Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho’s suggestions
headlight rain
no sign of a vacancy
on the old road
endless highway
the past looms large
in the drive mirror
filling
the long hours
taxidermist
careless talk
the caged bird sings
with a stutter
spyhole
this desire is only
one-way
mirror mirror
mother’s glare
next to his sneer
maternal envy
shower curtain shadow
on perfect skin
eyes wide open
screams reflect
off his knife
stone cold
her depression
on the bed
morning after
a newspaper
left unread
hilltop house
fresh blood stains
well-worn steps
dark lake
the death rattle
of her car
fruit cellar
flies circle around
the light bulb
final judgement
the shadow play
in mother’s eyes

pellegrinaggio –
mi accompagna in silenzio
la mia ombra
al crocevia
ho imboccato il sentiero
meno battuto
alba silvestre –
su ogni filo d’erba
stille di luce
