iosonorockmaballoiltango:

La felicità – diceva,–

È destrezza di mente e mani.

Tutte le anime maldestre

Sono note per la loro infelicità.

Non importa,

Se molti tormenti

Sono frutto di gesti

Tortuosi e menzogneri.


Nelle tempeste, nei temporali,

Nella gelida vita,

Nelle perdite gravi

E quando sei triste,

Apparire sorridente e semplice –

È l’arte più sublime del mondo.


S.A. Esenin

In Praise of Minor Literature

In Praise of Minor Literature:

theparisreview:

Even Jorge Luis Borges and Edgar Allan Poe were minor writers, since “a Martian could not learn about human nature from either of them.”

zdmotion:

PUPPIES

Continuity of the species.
Nature controls through
its elements, performs.

Actual generation activity
provides their continuity
through its reproduction.

Suddenly we observed
a couple settle in large vase,
among several available on the balcony.

Privileged by their choice,
We witness the action of this couple.
just over ten days after birth,
here are their young.

Vorrei vederti crescere.

Vorrei vederti diventare chi sei.

Vorrei che fossero già passati dieci anni,

così tu torneresti

e mi diresti quanto mi hai amato,

quanto hai imparato.

Vorrei vederti ispirata

e bruciare per la fiamma che è in te.

Vorrei vederti fare tutto ciò che noi due

sappiamo sei capace di fare…

ma non ti posso aiut...
