CLAUDIA PICCINNO

CLAUDIA PICCINNO

PITIFUL MOTHER

Ethereal you are walking on the waters,

sweet little girl,

you who was mother too soon.

I recognize your anxieties

in the tired steps of all mothers,

in the pain of those who lost happiness.

I am a tear of your face,

and I twinkle for an unmindful atavic pain.

AT GOD'S WINDOWSILL

It rains on the antique wicker

but nostalgia does not slip away .

A smile in the dark ...

the light of others’ living room.

With a closed umbrella and thirsty eyelids,

I welcome the caresses of the clouds.

Hesitant and watching

in the stray coming I face the seas of memory

and I wait for a face appearing

At the windowsill of God.

AN ECHO OF WINGS

In the suburbs of the soul

There’s a tickle of you.

Clouds of daily existence mark the border,

but an echo of wings brings me back to you.

And you are in my verses

my smile in the torpor,

my antidote to pain.

TIGER WHISKERS

I'm the nothing and I touch you

I'm the whole in the sum

of thoughts and resistances.

I was crumpled in a plate,

a voiceless note in the chorus.

I was afraid of a tiger

marking the territory.

Your distant silhouette,

though desirable as a den,

is shadowed by the boredom

of a life without joy.
