Ritals

Eppure lo sapevamo anche noil'odore delle stivel'amaro del partireLo sapevamo anche noie una lingua da disimpararee un'altra da imparare in frettaprima della biciclettaLo sapevamo anche noie la nebbia di fiato alla vetrinee il tiepido del panee l'onta del rifiutolo sapevamo anche noiquesto guardare mutoE sapevamo la pazienzadi chi non si può fermaree la santa caritàdel santo regalarelo sapevamo anche noiil colore dell'offesae un abitare magro e magroche non diventa casae la nebbia di fiato alla vetrinee il tiepido del panee l'onta del riufitolo sapevamo anche noiquesto guardare muto

And yet, we ourselves were familiar with itThe stench of the ship’s holds,The bitter taste of leavingWe savored it ourselvesAnd a language to unlearnAnd another one to learn hastilybefore (learning to ride) a bike .We experienced it ourselvesBe it the mist left by our breathing on the shops’ windowsAnd the warmth of a piece of breadAnd the shame of being rejectedWe knew it ourselvesThis way to look on, speechlessly

We were acquainted with the patienceOf those who cannot take a breakAnd the holy generosityOf holy givingWe were ourselves acquainted withThe color of slanderAnd a dwelling modest, very modestThat fails to become a homeAnd the mist left by our breath on the shops’ windowsAnd the warmth of a piece of breadAnd the shame of being rejectedWe knew it ourselvesThis way to look on, without a word.
