“An expanse of water that doesn’t quench your thirst” 3 poems by Giovanna Pandolfelli

Somewhere deep inside my soul,  a tiny bone shattered – Five poems from “The Bitter Herb”, by Raphael D’Abdon
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Zaratan or the Aspidochelone

 

Aflush on the surface

of the rough choppy sea

il mare

the back of a big whale

covered with foam,

you seem to emerge to steal

breath

respiro.

Your breath for the last gasp exhaled.

 

You’ll sink,

you know that’s your

destiny,

contradictory as an expanse of water

that doesn’t quench your thirst

acqua

like a sun that burns life,

vita

a womb

una madre

who kills her own children.

 

The sea is swallowing you

and you, helpless, can only wait.

Attesa.

The light is dimming, the blue draws you down,

Il blu

Leviathan,

Your shiny back is still visible,

you should have offered a shell

to the many bodies that were piling on you

You’ve lulled, supported, comforted them

Cullati, sorretti, confortati, ingannati

deceived and, with mythological jaws, swallowed them.

You have turned your chimeric back

On those who saw in you an anchor,

Zaratan of the abyss.

 

Zaratan

 

Affiori dalla superficie

flush

del mare increspato

rough

dorso di grosso cetaceo

coperto di schiuma, sembri riemergere a rubare fiato

breath.

Il tuo respiro per l’ultimo soffio esalato.

 

Affonderai,

lo sai bene quello è il tuo

destino,

contraddittorio come una distesa d’acqua che non disseta

thirst

come un sole che brucia la vita,

burns

un ventre materno

che uccide i suoi figli

children.

 

Il mare ti sta inghiottendo

e tu impotente non hai che da aspettare

helpless.

Si affievolisce la luce, il blu ti attira a sé,

down,

Leviatano,

il tuo dorso lucido è ancora visibile,

avresti dovuto fare da guscio

offer a shell

a quei tanti corpi che ti si ammassavano addosso

li hai cullati, sorretti, confortati

ingannati e, con fauci mitologiche, inghiottiti.

Hai rivolto il tuo dorso chimerico

a chi in te vedeva un’àncora,

Zaratan degli abissi.


Map of Dreams

Inscrutable you did land on this ground

vacuous eyes and pursed lips,

but your face spoke for you.

Your skin was a map

where salt has drawn paths

steps of dreams, wounded innocence, premature wrinkles

the withered skin of an old child

lips that betray a thirst for love

for a land that nourishes you,

quenches your thirst,

heals your wounds.

May his crusted face

be washed by the tears of ancient mothers,

don’t let those sediments take roots

on his vacuous look,

the marks deposited by salt hurt

inside

his weary eyes burning with human misery;

teach that child to wash away that

map already full

and intricate

a maze of thoughts

scripted destiny

and to fill those furrows of dream land

still unsprouted.

 

La mappa dei sogni

 

Imperscrutabile sei giunto a terra

occhi spenti e labbra serrate,

ma il tuo viso parlava per te.

La tua pelle era una mappa

su cui il sale ha segnato sentieri

passaggi di sogni, di innocenza ferita

di rughe premature

pelle avvizzita di un vecchio bambino

labbra che tradiscono la sete di amore

di una terra che ti nutra, ti disseti,

ti curi le ferite.

Lasciate che il suo viso incrostato

venga lavato dalle lacrime di madri antiche,

non lasciate che quei sedimenti mettano radici

su suo sguardo vuoto,

i segni depositati dal sale fanno male

dentro

bruciano gli occhi affaticati dalla miseria umana;

insegnate a quel bambino a lavarsi via quella mappa

già completa

intricata

labirinto di pensieri

destino già scritto

ed a colmare quei solchi di terreno onirico

non ancora germogliato.

 


Little Odysseus*

 

Here you are, little Odysseus your cheeks caked with salt

Your small body tight between the flesh of the other castaways

Like yourself

 

They have kept you warm and almost smothered you

but you felt safe at the rocking of the ship

 

No longer able to tell the sea and sky apart

But a glimmer of light on the horizon

You recall the fairy tale of the child

who lit up the stars at night

and you see him there – a suspended angel

in the darkness lit by a moonbeam.

 

A splash of water

chilly

suddenly

slaps you

a chorus of screams

awakens you from the dream

muffled in your ears covered by wax.

The sirens will not push you to sea

With their deceptive voices you’ll stay

Sturdy

In the hull.

 

 

A wave rises

fast

mighty

on its slope

we fly

we die

we drown

in a vacuum, the boat

sinking

plummeting

a thud

a shot

Charybdis

swallows us

in the darkest

dark,

Scylla is upon us.

 

You only see the whites of his bloodshot eyes

The red of the lips cracked from thirst

the bowels of fear.

You are there.

  • Odysseus is the original Greek name for Ulysses, in Greek mythology.

 

Piccolo Odisseo

 

Eccoti piccolo Odisseo dalle guance incrostate di sale
Il tuo corpicino stretto tra le carni degli altri naufraghi
Come te
ti hanno tenuto caldo e quasi soffocato
ma ti sentivi al sicuro all’oscillare del naviglio.

Il cielo non si distingue più dal mare
solo un filo di luce all’orizzonte
pensi alla fiaba del bimbo
che accendeva di sera le stelle
e lo vedi lì come un angelo sospeso nel buio
rischiarato da un raggio di luna.

Uno schizzo di acqua
gelida
d’improvviso
ti schiaffeggia
un coro di urla

Ti risveglia
giunge attutito alle tue orecchie

Coperte di cera.

Le sirene non ti spingeranno in mare

Con le loro ingannevoli voci

Resterai saldo allo scafo.
Un’onda solleva
veloce
possente
la china
voliamo
moriamo
anneghiamo
nel vuoto sprofonda
precipita
il legno
un tonfo
un colpo
Cariddi
ci inghiotte
nel buio più oscuro,

Scilla incombe su di noi.

Vedi solo il bianco degli occhi iniettato di sangue
il rosso delle labbra spaccate dalla sete
le viscere della paura.
Ci sei.
