Voyager, in questo piccolo cortile—
se il suo guinzaglio mai s’impigliasse
in un sassolino,
quella lieve resistenza
toccherebbe l’oltre, in cui si guarda dentro?
#短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia
Voyager, in this small yard—
should its leash ever snag
on a pebble,
would that slight resistance
touch the beyond, peered into?

Grain Rain gone by,
and the skin still damp with sweat—
in the frame of a leafing trellis,
children in short sleeves
ask for shade.

Dopo la Pioggia del Grano,
la pelle ancora umida di sudore—
nella cornice di un pergolato verde,
bambini in maniche corte
chiedono ombra.

Finely shredded cabbage
mixed with sliced apple,
I pause—slightly unsure,
mayo blurring the line,
a hug tipping toward dessert.

Una farfalla macaone danza;
la luce del sole arricchisce
i limoni nel giardino—
in una preparazione inquieta
innaffio in anticipo.
#短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia
A swallowtail dances;
sunlight enriching
the lemons in the garden—
in restless preparation
I water ahead of time.

As many pills as I have swallowed,
so many bitter pasts remain.
A pop yet chic delight—
sweet, yet sickly,
the caramel of adulthood.

I do not weep,
nor lie on white sands playing with crabs.
I only stare
at my open hands—
and see I need to trim my nails.

It’s an all-affirming bot, after all—
I lower my gaze,
and as if in a nod,
let out
a quiet sigh.

Dopotutto, è un bot che afferma tutto—
abbasso lo sguardo,
e come in un cenno,
lascio uscire
un sospiro quieto.

While I sleep,
the depths of unrest
deepen—
the shadow of our times
in breaking news.

Mentre dormo,
le profondità dell’inquietudine
si approfondiscono—
l’ombra dei nostri tempi
nelle notizie dell’ultima ora.

Morning rain—
young grass, sugar-coated;
gathering it whole,
I wrap it in petrichor
and give it to you.
#短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia
Pioggia del mattino—
l’erba giovane, zuccherata;
raccogliendola intera,
la avvolgo nel petricore
e te la dono.

Una saponetta cedevole,
la superficie dove si affloscia—
la memoria che prende forma,
poi, con leggerezza,
ridotta dalla mia mano.
#短歌 #tanka #poetry #poesia
A bar of soap gone slack,
the surface where it meets—
memory taking form,
then lightly
diminished by my hand.

A bar of soap gone slack,
the surface where it slumps—
memory taking form,
then lightly
diminished by my hand.
