I carry your heart with me

I carry your heart with me
( I carry it in my heart) I am never without it
(anywhere  I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you  whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart.

K.

Il tuo nome
lo chiamo
lo carezzo
ora
– domani
lo piangerò


Pronuncerò
due sillabe
di sconforto
e nessuna risposta
farà eco
al dolore


a questo squarcio
che porto
nell’addome.
