Stanzas of the vegetable flood
"It would have been better:
a here and elsewhere without men ,
a dawn of ferns on the low tide rocks
and a few poets for each territory "

Rare, bare, liquefied, purplish
discordant, secret, incompatible
stained by ferrous rivulets
of dawn, of the forest, of the swamp, from afar
rare, purplish plant flood
here beside my steps - layers of snow -
I speak in the air, I hint, I cover myself in blue
nothing can disturb this disorder anymore
without a past, without waiting thresholds
Onirico geologico
The only thing I know is poetry:
unexpected hailstorm that devastates
slaughter of whales - red sea -
syllables-harpoons to beach the habit
ferns in revolt at the borders of the villages.
Ferns in revolt
