The Dream Of The Mother Poem by Stefano Dal Bianco

The Dream Of The Mother



If you are watching a mother sleeping in an armchair
on any winter afternoon siesta
with the television temporarily off
and in the house the imperious peace
of an achieved family history
stay there, don't go
and cover her with a shawl.

Translation: 2004, Gabriele Poole
