'Le parole sono perfette traditrici'


Crescono dentro di me
Come grandi onde e
Mi sopraffanno:
Io mi arrendo a loro
Sentendomi impotente

Sono belli,
Colorati:
Sogni che galleggiano nel cielo
Come stelle in una galassia.
Vorrei tanto tenerli
Nella mano
—Oh, la mia mano.. troppo piccola per ospitarli!
Ecco, scivolano via..
Amo allora
Racchiuderli
In una parentesi di parole
Ma-
Le parole sono così perfette traditrici..


==========================


'Words Are Such Perfect Traitors' - by Bharati Nayak


They rise in me
Like large waves
Overpowering me
I surrender to them
I feel so powerless

They are beautiful
Colorful
Dreams floating across sky
Like a milky way
I just want to hold them
In my hand
Oh my hand, so small to hold
They slip away
I love
To enclose them
In a bracket of words
But-
Words are such perfect traitors
