April (Aprile)
So many tired words
come to my mind
in this rainy day of April
when the barnyard is like a crushed cloud
or a flower that is spoiling.
Within a veil of rain
all is dressed like new.
The humid and dear earth
stings me and melts me away.
If your eyes are boggy and black
like hell,
then my sorrow is fresh
like a runlet.
From the
collection "Poesie," 1936, by Vincenzo Cardarelli.
