Punta sulle nuvole
sugli alberi e su altre cose mute,
non tue, non vicine,
non addestrate a compiacerti,
punta sulla luce, cercala sempre,
infine punta sulla tua follia,
se ce l’hai, se non te l’hanno rubata
da piccolo.
Franco Arminio

Turn toward the clouds
the trees, and other silent things,
not yours, not near,
not trained to please you.
Turn toward the light, always seek it.
Finally, turn toward your madness,
if you have it, if they didn’t steal it
from you when you were a child.
Franco Arminio
