ROBERTO DEDENARO Roads of Songs(from the Italian)Observe: stripes of fine dust striking the sea shadows of land the lines opening on oceans fearful to sculpt the piers, beyond the lines hills the desire of loss the desire for walking harsh openings the desire gush out – of a sign to find that opens to the air – to find the things an air in which a little of you wanders of sulphurous roads noonday deserts leaning out of windows empty of you. Now we shall be you are they were noondays overflowing with emptiness. Let's go on paradoxical occasions crowded little lectures let's go please Needle compasses zero ticking of the instruments - on the eyelids hoarfrost let's go on the little paths along unrecognizable ridges, old with water veins and a few little seeds of an absurd hope let's go hopes and rejections and distant lectures like humped rivers of the village and a distant fire and long lines of birds on the horizon. Lights of villages like cities like plastic sheets like ensnared consciences cities like villages like lights like imperturbable buzzes, electric questions disappointing teeth and black nights like extinguished and shining like explosions of vitamins, buzzes of dogs where wisdom shows itself proves itself in the air, sine nomine in the caresses of the land in the razors of the dawn roads swarming-certainties of the roads.
