TO THE WALLS
for Nat Scammacca

So,
if there’s no one
there,
I’ll read
to the ceiling,
the windows and doors.
I’ll declaim
to the chairs,
the books
on the shelves,
the empty glasses
on the tables.
At least
I’ll be able
to read
what I want!
AI MURI
Perciò,
se non c’è
nessuno
lì
leggerò al soffitto
alle finestre e alle porte.
Reciterò e
alle sedie,
ai libri
sugli scaffali,
ai bicchieri vuoti
sui tavoli
Almeno
potrò
leggere
ciò che voglio!
Trad. di Nat Scammacca
