Alessandro e il mare


Il tramonto era pieno di soldati ubriachi di futuro
fra i dadi le bestemmie e il sogno di un letto più sicuro;
ma quando lui usciva dalla tenda non osavano
nemmeno guardare:
sapevano che c'era la sua ombra sola davanti al mare.
Poi l'alba era tutta un fumo di cavalli,
gridi e risate nuove;
dove si va, passato il Gange,
Generale, parla, dicci solo dove:
e lui usciva dalla tenda bello come la mattina il sole:
come in una lontana leggenda,
perduta chissà dove...

tornava bambino,
e tornava bambino,
quando stava da solo a giocare nei viali
di un immenso giardino;
la fontana coi pesci
dai riflessi d'argento,
che poteva soltanto guardarla,
mai buttarcisi dentro.

Non un capello fuori posto
mentre entrava a cavallo nel mare,
e il cuore, il cuore gli batteva addosso
come a una donna che si va a sposare;
e tutti lo seguirono cantando
senza nemmeno sospettare,
e gli andarono dietro contenti
di dover annegare.

tornava bambino,
e tornava bambino,
quando stava da solo a giocare nei viali
di un immenso giardino;
la fontana coi pesci
dai riflessi d'argento
che poteva solo guardarla
mai buttarcisi dentro.

E mentre si voltava indietro
non aveva niente da vedere;
e mentre si guardava avanti
niente da voler sapere;
ma il tempo di tutta una vita
non valeva quel solo momento:
Alessandro, così grande fuori, così piccolo dentro.
