By Lidia Chiarelli
Winter Night
Very often on winter nights the halfshaped moonlight sees
Men through a window of leaves …
from: A Dream of Winter by Dylan Thomas
.
Reflections of alabaster
in the winter sunset
droplets of subtle mist
laying on the sea
with the last games
of starlings in the wind.
.
A crescent moon
makes its way
in the ancient maze,
in the darkness
carved by the waves
on the sand
.
where also
our words
slowly
fade away.
Masks
(to Rudolph Valentino)
In Life’s masquerade the disguises are many
from: Cap and Bells by Rudolph Valentino
.
Through the open window
a dull sky hid the stars
when you paused and listened
to the lost language of the night.
.
Under glittering chandeliers
the precious clock ticked endless hours
and your many faces,
reflected in the sumptuous mirrors,
(impassive masks)
slowly dissolved
into another place, into another time
.
Unspoken thoughts words left unsaid
broken phrases vague illusions
dreams of passion vainly chased.
.
Then the dazzling spotlights
switched off one by one
on the set
of your last film
.
