REHEARSAL - Self-translated poems 11






The floor is dirty –
goodbye tears

Lights  don’t work
they’ll call
someone


Là ci darem la mano
[1]
There
there
and never
here

It’s cold this evening
Let’s finish  quickly
Voices quiver

Là mi dirai…? – There
you’ll tell me
what I’ve never
said
here


But if then…
but if we…

The sofa has holes

Turn on– please
a light
more

La versione originale della poesia è in : Variazioni su Tema

[1] From Mozart’s Don Giovanni  ‘Give me thy hand, oh fairest,  Whisper a gentle 'Yes', Come, if for me thou carest,
With joy my life to bless.
