Three Poems by Barbara Di Sacco

 

Canio

 

Face washed

in the water, reflected

of moon

dyed white toothpaste

absinthe green

and strawberries, lips

a clown appears

over candle light

descend

in his image

through the mirror.

Hanging by one foot

to the delirious trapeze

catapulted

between laughter and applause.

Flees, with big shoes

in the street, stunned

wandering aimlessly

whispering to the stars

soaked in honey

raising his hands to his head

with awkward gait.

Three traveling fates

showing him the way

in the wind and its song

in the flight of ephemera

they appear

nine dancing muses.

To him, i gifts

dance, poetry

one hundred squares

and a jacket.

Read now

heavy shoes

and wings behind the head

he files, in art.

Laugh now, clown!

Music is female

 

On a cello

woman’s body

compose music.

Pentagram of stars

sound waves

cosmic curves.

Merry motifs, on hair

strands.

Low torments, severe

on heavy parted lips

kisses, melodious and languid.

Stealth cadence

of rapt glances

and voice, archaic

of your warm timbre.

Angry sound

of feline virtue

elusive cat.

Soft strings

sweet caresses

romantic undertones

as of roses, parfumes.

You will play beauty

smoothly

pining you

dressed in mahogany

on a stiletto heel

in the embrace arc.

Puppet

 

Lost little puppet

swallowed by the sperm whale

wake up your sleep

in the sea womb

tinged with earthy roots

of your wood.

In the amniotic fluid placebo

you fluctuate

together with a dolphin.

Galloping

his horse rump

tell him a story

your fairy tale

of dreamy plaything

your happy life.

Entrusted

Pandora’s box

to you, child

without sin

naughty infant

they turned you into a donkey

in the toy park

near there.

Now, on horseback

of the bottlenose dolphin, you jump

in the sea, flying

you, child

and a dolphin.

Good news

untie knots in the sails

of beautiful souls

on the free sea.
