Irbis

"

I love
every ammonite
weeping
from the Portals of Creation.

The melancholy of meadows
levigating
the Steles of Dracaena resin.

The hoarfrost
sleeting
in the Dwell of Rustles.


You are
the Eternal Irbis
that breaches dunes
in my wrists,
the Desert Rose
that, caustic,
germinates its parched winds.



Irbis: in another name of the snow leopard. An elusive and magnificent animal.

AmmoniteFossils of a marine Mesozoic mollusc with a coiled partitioned shell.

Dracaena: from Greek drakaina, female dragon, is a tropical plant from which red blood sap is extracted.




From "Tree of Words"





Irbis


Amo
ogni ammonite
che lacrima
dai Portali della Creazione.

La malinconia dei prati
che leviga
le Stele di Resina Dracena.

La brina
che nevischia
nella Dimora dei Fruscii.


Sei
l’Irbis Eterno
che sbreccia dune
nei miei polsi,
la Rosa del Deserto
che, caustica,
germina i suoi venti riarsi.



Irbis: una altro nome del leopardo delle nevi. Un animale elusivo e magnifico.

Ammonite: fossile del periodo mesozoico, con grande conchiglia a più camere avvolta a spirale.

Dracena: dal gr. drákaina 'la femmina del drago', è una pianta tropicale da cui si estrae una resina rosso sangue.
