Sebbene non fosse casa mia
Il primo fiore di pruno freddo
alla finestra aveva lo stesso odore.

I was tangled in the spider’s web Of sheer forgetfulness, sharp ecstasy, brooding manias.

The disorder of my hair Is due to my lonely sleepless pillow. My hollow eyes and gaunt cheeks are your fault

Mi chiedi a cosa pensassi prima di amarci. Semplice, la risposta. Io, prima d’incontrarti, non avevo niente a cui pensare.

Wise to keep the pattern of
Life clear and simple and filled
With beautiful and real things."

A tarda notte mi siedo davanti a un foglio di carta bianco,
finché un petalo vermiglio caduto trema davanti a me.

Lying here quietly beside you, My cheek against your firm, quiet thighs, The calm music of Boccherini Washing over us in the quiet, As the sun leaves the housetops and goes Out over the Pacific, quiet - So quiet the sun moves beyond us, So quiet as the sun always goes, So quiet, our bodies, worn with the Times and the penances of love, our Brains curled, quiet in their shells, dormant, Our hearts slow, quiet, reliable In their interlocked rythms, the pulse In your thigh caressing my cheek. Quiet.
-Kenneth Rexroth, "Quietly"
