to Rebecca Horn
by
Lidia Chiarelli, Italy
And hand in hand, on the edge of the sand
They danced by the light of the moon Edward Lear
Torino, Monte dei Cappuccini, January 2019
Keeper of ancient memories
the river flows silently
from large strips of dark
light layers of fog arise
white impalpable veils
that hug the mountain
in a cold embrace.
Muffled comes
the rhythmic breath of the city
still alive and beating
in the distance.
A light of blue
slowly dissolves
in the esoteric sky
of this strange night
myriad luminous rings project
suffused opalescent reflections.
Little Blue Spirits
evoked by a kind mind
from glimpses of black
suddenly come alive
magical suspended symbols
of a new and surreal
urban mythology.
