Ricordi e pensieri
Di ciò che sono stata
Stati e fluttuazioni di malesseri e gioie
Dolori e giudizi e odio e felicità
E rimpianti, consapevolezza
Della strada che ho fatto,
Della sua necessità
Ed ora sono io
E domani non lo sarò più

Un cappello a tesa larga, ecco tutto ciò che sono.
Lo sguardo malinconico di un quadro solitario,
La macchia di colore sulla punta di un pennello.
Mi osservi per ore, ma senza mai vedermi,
Puoi guardarmi soltanto con la coda dei tuoi occhi.
Ai confini del tuo mondo, addossata alla parete,
Solo questo posso darti: il frammento di un ricordo.
Non posso togliere il nastro di tulle,
Né, se volessi, cambiarne il colore.
Oso mostrare il mio capo scoperto?
Non posso portare i capelli sciolti?
L’anima mia è stata già immortalata,
Cristallizzata, adesso e per sempre.
Mi mimetizzo a colori sgargianti,
E forse la tela è il mio nascondiglio.
Se togliessi il cappello,
Mi vorresti ancora nella tua casa?
Se fossi ciò che vorrei diventare,
Mi riconoscerei?

Voglio che mi canti una canzone
Perché la tua voce è melodia
Ogni suono che produci
Mi scioglie,
E ne muoio ogni volta
Voglio che mi dedichi qualcosa
Perché me ne serve il possesso
Ogni cosa che mi doni
La venero,
E ne sono dipendente
Voglio che mi sogni mentre dormi
Perché possa star sempre con te
Ogni volta che ti parlo
Impazzisco,
E non posso farne a meno

Di civette e cavallette

Tutti i mantra dell’oceano

Non capisco i nostri occhi
Mille cento e centomila …

… Guai a chi non sa giostrare
Tra cavalli imbizzarriti
I coriandoli che tristi
Questo vento non sopporta
Pesanti e troppo forse liberi.

Color picking palettes from a picture
You’ve taken ten years ago
Shapeshifting into the shadow of your future self
Outlining a person that isn’t you
Ain’t that what living is all about?
Are you positive that this is you
And not a shiny reflection from a broken mirror?
How many shards are you going to ignore
For the need to believe that you’ve found yourself?
For how long are you willing to refuse
Our absolute undecidedness?

Mind your silence
This moment does not deserve
To be ruined by silly words.
I’ll listen to your breathing instead
Rest your head
This night is not for thinking
Nor is it for counting stars.
You’ll have to count my freckles instead
Have nice dreams
This life of ours was never meant
To be filled with sadness as it is.
We’ll need to live it together instead

Female figure (pastel, 34×48) – Irene Lugli collection
Paiono proprio parole impalpabili
Che prendono piede in pensieri perversi
Provando a pregare per poter partire
Trovandosi pronte a pagarne le spese
Sembrano solo dei sogni scadenti
Segreti se non sempre senza speranza
Sono soltanto saluti al mio sole
Seppur segregati sin dalla partenza …
Female figure (pastel, 34×48) – Irene Lugli collection
… Talmente ti temo da tanto che ti amo
Ti trovo e non riesco a tenerti distante
Ti canto timori al pensier di cui tremo
Ma tanto illusioni ti paion soltanto
Lento e illusorio l’amore mio langue
Lotta in un lago di sangue e tormento
Stagnante, letargico, troppo loquace
Mi struggo e ti penso e ti odio e ti amo.

Cantavo a bocca chiusa
gli spilli fra le labbra
drappeggiavo sul manichino
stoffe di tutti i colori
immaginavo feste attese matrimoni
appuntavo sistemavo imbastivo
aspettavo.
