Quadro  di  periferia

 

                                           Dalla finestra                                                            

                                                della mia                                                                   

                                                     casa.                                                                        

 

                                Campi di granturco                                                  

                                   e sullo sfondo la                                                       

                               chiesa dei lager.                                                    

 

                                 Bambini che si                                                        

                     picchiano, rotolandosi                                            

                               nella polvere.                                                    

                                                                                     

                                                                                      Bambine che con ferocia

                                                                                    femminile, mordono crani

                                                                                      teneri di teneri bambini.

 

                                                                                                   Il vento

                                                                                                 ondeggia

                                                                                               il granturco.

 

                                                                                                       E,

                                                                                  popolazioni fanno giungere

                                                                                il loro lamento, la loro rabbia,

                                                                                             il loro rancore.

 

                                                                                         Le piante crescono

                                                                                             sempre pių in

                                                                                                    fretta.

 

                                                                                            Ora vedo solo

                                                                                      il cranio della chiesa

                                                                                                 dei lager.

 

                                                                                 Quella del tenero bambino

                                                                                           č ormai pasto di

                                                                                            dolci fanciulle.

 

                                                                                          Enormi zanzare

                                                                                       si posano sui corpi

                                                                                            senza cranio.

           

                                                                                                                  E le fanciulle

                                                                                      ballano e cantano

                                                                                           inni paesani.

 

                                                                                     Si danza, si canta,

                                                                                       mentre il grano

                                                                                             si alza.

 

                                                                                 Contadini civilizzati,

                                                                                  raschiano la terra e,

                                                                                   vermi moderni ne

                                                                               accarezzano le braccia.
