Tra il marmo e la neve
il mio passo era lieve,
mia madre aspettava laggiù.
Sentivo il frastuono
del lampo e del tuono,
le dissi "Proteggimi tu!"
Lei disse: "Stai calmo,"
e tenendomi il palmo:
"Per sempre ti reggerò su".
E poi scese la notte,
la quiete nel buio,
sembrava che al buio io fossi al sicuro,
ma lei disse "va', ora torna nel mondo."
Nell'Egitto occupato
firmammo un trattato
che a tutti salvasse la vita,
ci fu un suono tremendo
e mio padre, cadendo,
s'accorse della sua ferita.
"T'affido i miei libri,
t'affido le mie armi,
questa mia fiducia tradita."
E scende la notte,
la quiete nel buio,
direi che sbagliava se fossi sicuro,
ma ai bimbi a cui canto non mentirò.
Sedevo in cucina
a parlar di dottrina
pensavo "Se è questo che vuoi,
magari parlando
m'allungo, sfiorando
la carne che insiste tra noi,"
ma mio figlio e mia figlia
con le mani a conchiglia
gridavano "Gioca con noi!"
E non so come sia,
mi portarono via,
"Tu conti e ci cerchi, non fare la spia!"
E si sono nascosti nei posti del mondo.
Ora vago disperso
e ti cerco, sommerso
dai versi di troppe preghiere.
Mi chiamerai a rapporto
prima che io sia morto,
ma non posso restare a vedere.
Per la mia bramosia
tu sei l'acqua sorgiva,
un fiume di luce a cui bere.
E scende la notte,
la quiete nel buio,
mi stringi al tuo seno, mi sento al sicuro,
tu m'apparterrai finché canterò.
Ora cantano i grilli
tra fonti e zampilli,
il sole saluta e scompare.
Nessuna domanda
fa il gatto in veranda
guardandomi scendere al bar
per brindare a quei pochi
che han pietà dei miei giochi,
e ai meno a cui poi può fregare.
E scende la notte,
la quiete nel buio,
vorrei andare a casa e restare al sicuro,
ma lei dice "va', ora torna nel mondo."
