Fulgida stella, fossi fermo come tu lo sei
ma non in solitario splendore sospeso alto nella notte,
a vegliare, con le palpebre rimosse in eterno,
come paziente di natura, insonne eremita,
le mobili acque al loro dovere sacerdotale
di puro lavacro intorno a rive umane,
oppure guardare la nuova maschera dolcemente caduta
della neve sopra i monti e le pianure.
No – pure sempre fermo, sempre senza mutamento,
vorrei riposare sul guanciale del puro seno del mio amore,
sentirne per sempre la discesa dolce dell’onda e il sollevarsi,
sempre desto in una dolce inquietudine
a udire sempre, sempre il suo respiro attenuato,
e così vivere in eterno – o se no venir meno nella morte.
Physics says: go to sleep. Of course
you’re tired. Every atom in you
has been dancing the shimmy in silver shoes
nonstop from mitosis to now.
Quit tapping your feet. They’ll dance
inside themselves without you. Go to sleep.
Geology says: it will be all right. Slow inch
by inch America is giving itself
to the ocean. Go to sleep. Let darkness
lap at your sides. Give darkness an inch.
You aren’t alone. All of the continents used to be
one body. You aren’t alone. Go to sleep.
Astronomy says: the sun will rise tomorrow,
Zoology says: on rainbow-fish and lithe gazelle,
Psychology says: but first it has to be night, so
Biology says: the body-clocks are stopped all over town
and
History says: here are the blankets, layer on layer, down and down.
Sometimes I get ‘readers-block’, like I can’t read anything to save my life, I’ll start 10 books and stop each after seven pages because all I’ll want is to already have read that book and not actually read it and I won’t be able to focus at all and it pains me so much.
