Luminanza


I walked the streets and raged
I wanted the stnes in the military cemetery to weep
for the dead beneath them
I wanted the skull to dream of justice
And then I remembered the iron kite that flies inthe child’s mind
And saw the old touch their white hairs as gently as
a sparrow nesting on the side of an iceberg
So at twenty I wrot a play
[...]

Edward Bond

Per parlare di tutte queste cose avevo bisogno
di una storia reale, anche se solamente in parte. 
Avevo bisogno di una scheggia di metallo che attraversasse
tutte queste cose, che le perforasse,
come si taglia una tela, come si costruisce un suono preciso,
come si guarda attraverso le cose imponderabili. 
Forse la scheggia di metallo sono io, per parlare ancora una volta 
di me senza parlare di me ma parlando di ciò che vive in me.
