Un bello e orribile
mostro si sferra
corre gli oceani
corre la terra
corrusco e fumido
come i vulcani
i monti supera
divora i piani.

SERPE FERREO
Facciamo un viaggio in treno,
veloci veloci come le nostre emozioni,
..."would you like to go away?" This house - it isn't much of a hause, is it?
Perhaps if I got aboard..."
I'would
like Sam to stay out in one place so that when he goes away he'l be
able to come back.
To something he knew in childhood . Like you came
back.
To something old. Something secure."
"A collection of old ruins by the railway?"
"Yes"
He
remembered the bourgeois voices as sedate as the owners in their Sunday
clohes,
singing in the flinty church, expressing their weekly moment of
belief.
"A green hill far away, without a city wall."
"The ruins are pretty" she said "
But you can never go back"
Castle said : " To your childhood"
"That's different, I wasn't secure.
Until I knew you.
And there were no ruins - only snacks."

Transumanar ed organizzar
Ogni volta che mi imbarco in un treno sento il cuore
disarticolarsi nelle gioie leggere e sudate di una mèta
seducente, fissata ancora nel tempo della fanciullezza,
al di là del Tirreno e dell'Iberia, verso i grandi teatri
oceanici e le chiusure rocciose del West
( da Transumanar ed organizzar P.P.Pasolini )
