Poem
Giampiero Neri
FROM THE SAME PLACE
As the river water movesnear the banks against the flow
spreads among grass blades
far from its center
memory finds its way back
to where an unresolved matter
returns with so many broken pieces.

VANUIT DEZELFDE PLAATS
Zoals het water van de rivier zichnabij de oever tegen de stroom in beweegt
en ver van het midden
tussen de grassprieten verdwijnt,
zo stroomt de herinnering in omgekeerde richting
naar waar een onzekere materie
in vele brokstukken weerkeert.

DALLO STESSO LUOGO
Come l’acqua del fiume si muovecontro corrente vicino alla riva
si disperde dentro fili d’erba
lontana dal suo centro
la memoria fa un cammino a ritroso
dove una materia incerta
torna con molti frammenti.
