the
setting sun
caresses an old mirror:
rainbows everywhere |
sole
al tramonto
sfiora l’antico specchio:
arcobaleni |

summer evening –
the large opened mirror
swings the room |
sera d’estate -
il grande specchio aperto
muove la stanza |

young man in the sun –
a diamond shine
on the zircon |
giovane al sole -
ha luce diamantina
lo zircone |

feigning calm
in front of servings
the boarders |
fingono calma
di fronte alle portate
i pensionanti |

in the old temple
it could be I prayed
without knowing
|
nel vecchio tempio
potrei aver pregato
senza saperlo |
