ghost moon
her last departure
for an unknown places
breakfast table
she don’t remember
her favorite tea
childhood memories
talking with
my imaginary dolls
what’s left…
a cold ring
on my finger
luna fantasma
la sua ultima partenza
per luoghi sconosciuti
tavolo per la colazione
lei non ricorda
il suo tè preferito
ricordi d’infanzia
parlando con
le mie bambole immaginarie
cos’è rimasto…
un anello freddo
sul mio dito

first snowflakes
the wings of a black swan
become white
misty sky
the last migratory birds
fly low
Memorial day
a butterfly opens
its wings
primi fiocchi di neve
le ali di un cigno nero
diventano bianche
cielo nebbioso
gli ultimi uccelli migratori
volano basso
Giorno della Memoria
una farfalla apre
le sue ali

cade un fiocco di neve
poi un altro

sta cambiando i suoi colori

Onorata che un mio haiku, tradotto dall’inglese, appaia sulla rivista “La voce dell’Ute”, fondata dal Lions club di Cinisello Balsamo e patrocinata dal Comune. Grazie al caporedattore Renato Ghezzi per avere scelto questo mio poema e alla redazione. All’interno un articolo dedicato allo haiku che vi invito a leggere. Felice di questo crescente interesse nei confronti di questo antico genere poetico.

Bigia la neve
dai fiocchi di cenere
Tremuli gli occhi
Nella memoria persi
i petali di un pruno
tanka di Betty Castagnoli
~~~
Nuova memoria
per non dimenticare
I gigli bianchi
L’olezzo dai camini
si appiccica alle stelle
Tanka di Mauro Battini
~~~
Copre la neve
tutto il filo spinato
Anche I camini
Il bianco è sciolto al sole
e si trasforma in fango
tanka di Paola Martino
~~~
easily
tears shine …
Memorial Day
con facilità
luccicano le lacrime…
giorno della memoria

coltre di neve –
un paio di scarpe rosse
di una bimba
blanket of snow –
a pair of red shoes
of a little girl

Giorno della Memoria
International Holocaust Remembrance Day
(January 27)
diario di guerra
quando nessuno di noi
guardava le stelle
war diary
when none of us
looked the stars
*
cenere nera
tutte quelle stelle nascoste
nell’oscurità
black ash
all those hidden stars
in the darkness
*
pagine vuote
le ultime parole di Anna
portate via dal vento
empty pages
Anne’s last words
carried off by the wind
*
filo spinato
in primavera le rose
raggiungono ancora il cielo
barbed wire
in spring the roses
reach the sky again
*
petali caduti
il modo in cui lasciamo andare
la nostra vita
fallen petals
the way we left
our life
*
