boia decapitato
monolite in tutù
senza bisogno di ancheggiare
sciogli te e il forte
dall’incantesimo che impietra
– mangiafuoco senza lingua
demiurgo senza argilla
infante senza infanzia –
beheaded headsman,
monolith in a tutu,
with no need to wiggle
free yourself and the fortress
from the petrifying enchantment.
– fire-eater without tongue,
demiurge without clay,
child without a childhood –
Alice Di Lauro
