Milky Way
drawing lines
around our silence
cold spring
the candles shimmer
with the stars
[Three haiku on emigration from Komorebi, Valentina Meloni’s column in the journal Euterpe translated by Eufemia Griffo]
last embrace
the scent of the sea
in her hair
stormy sea
a little doll awaits
on the shore
solitudes
shared silences
under the moon

bird song
she hums
her favourite tune
lungo viaggio
un colibrì ha vegliato
sui miei sogni
long trip
a hummingbird has watched
over my dreams
spring wind
stars fall
on the pillow

cold afternoon
grabbing a cup of tea
with both hands
winter sky
a snowflake shines
in a snowflake

bowl of rice
watching the snowflakes
disappear
ciotola di riso
guardando i fiocchi di neve
scomparire

imagining his face
every night

immaginando il suo volto

my steps
among his little footprints
prima neve
i miei passi
tra le sue piccole impronte

draws shadows on the walls
of old cottages

disegna ombre sui muri

*Agave flourishes only once before dying: it symbolizes a great love that comes to arrive at destruction.
drops of ink
all the words
I didn’t tell you
gotas de tinta
todas las palabras
que no te dije
