The sea pearl: a poem’s collection that I love

 

(Giorgio Lanzani)

 

 

 

ALSO FLICKERING SUNS

 

Also flickering suns

light up the hero’s house

at dawn

 

the kiss in the fog

trembling in a shred of darkness

exist

swallow's flight

animals of mercy

 

If you believe in the theory of the reincarnation you can think that Chinellato is the reincarnation of some Christian warrior escaped to the “impalazione” of the Moslems and that turns for the Venetian Lagoon perfectly harnessed looking for Don Chisciotte some victim to behead. It is not this way. It is a mild teacher of letters at least to the appearance. He has the gift of the synthesis in almost inhuman way.  We depart from “Also flickering suns“

 

From the sun it is passed in sudden way to a fog of which swallows go out to reassure us some continuation of the life. Do the suns tremble for the fate of the heroes?  And that kiss in the fog unites two lovers or or it is the kiss of Giuda that prelude to the darkness that will wind the Golgota.. . Stimulus is marvelous that comes us from these images, powerful and mild to unite the sun and the fog, the heroes and the swallows: an admixture, an explosive cocktail that projects the poetry of Chinellato toward unusual horizons.

 

 

 

CALIBRATED NOTES

 

The calibrated notes

of melody

in beds of fire

 

a miserable death

of blood

in dull eyes

the town relives

in the moment of one heartbeat

 

  Again a strong image in the beginning of a poetry of Chinellato. That to calibrate the notes that knows about a military measurement notes that they set on fire the pallets of whom listens almost to pits an enemy to destroy, perhaps the desperation of the composer has still struck?  It is the death the subject of this composition a stingy death of blood, in out pupils, beautiful image that set up against the city that relives at that time that instant in which it seems that all the hearts pulsate in unison and run the infernal rhythm of the life.

 

 

 CARYATIDS OF SPRINGS

 

Caryatids of springs

move the celestial sphere

to beautify the creation

 

bear the verse

hours of blood

to unsaddIe the horses

in the night

 

  A landscape DeChirichiano caryatids that give place to the movement of celestial spheres that rotate and then a to reflection of the poet a to refold on if it is almost an auto invite to improve his composition. For then to reach the clou to the explosion of the last part: here we have before a picture to dark shades, unsaddled horses, blood riders only imagined that leave their life in a terrestrial hell that set up forever against to the celestial sphere movement.

 

 

 DANCING WITH NOTHING

 

Dancing with nothing

in a variable growing sing‑song

 

the message

of cosmic Gods

 

 To dance with the nothing brings us to a metaphysical dance. These o cosmic divinities other are not that our consciences that measure the nothing the being nothing of the being that materializes where in the discoteques ipperreal where each is only and dances with himself the dance of the life in the absolute nonexistence of deified human relationships and disowned.

 

Cantilenes become in our souls the rhythms of the life and the howls and the din of the becoming.

 

 

METALLIC LIGHT

 

Metallic light

to the crusader's mind

towards victory

 

Iced evenings

in the hand of seconds

 

 This light of metal is the beam of the armour is the light that illuminates the mind of the warrior.

 

And that it drives him in the night of the battle that illuminates his walk his deeds his to put in game the life for any ideal it is.   Those evenings of ice speak to us once more of death of cold, while the time implacable sphere of seconds that rotates and ours accompanies to burn of radiant meteors it accompanies us to the evenings when our body will be of ice.

 

 

MY WOMAN

 

My woman waits

in the shadow of a roof-terrace

embroidering the cassock

of crimson velvet

 

it will be disclosed the secret

of our horizon

and there will be Joy

 

 The woman attends to the shade of altane embroidering. What does she attend? Her hero's return? The conclusion of prearranged time? She attends a secret that will arrive from a heralding common horizon of joy.

 

 

 

 

SHE LIES

 

The girl lies in the snow

honour to crusaders

of her mutation

 

the bones of the poet

sleeping on the bare ground

rot with quicklime

  

In this composition death is to the beginning and is a young girl the young girl of the snow.

 

This honor to the crusaders is sarcastic. Death returns in the last verses and is the death of the poet this time, naked his bones it lies far, it decays it goes to putrefaction while the young girl of the snow is eternal, she is of glass she is of ice she is incorruptible sneer to the crusaders of the mutation.

 

 

THE CROWD IS STILL TREMBLING

 

The evening crowd is still trembling

towards the stormy home

 

flying in the night

time hurls a coin

quivering over the cross

at Judas' kiss

 

 Extreme synthesis still the theme of the fog of tear that recalls the first poetry that we have examined.

Again tremor of hearts, storm of the hearts in the abodes torn from how much has happened. A cross where the child of God trembles dying killed by the baseness of too small men.

 

 

THE SEA PERL

 

Dreaming in seaports

deep sea

within the birthplace of time

 

Sails torn by

a south-west wind

the galley captain

reached the heart

of Lepanto and declined the Turk

 

 This poetry brings us the cradle of the waves,the sleep of the warriors that return from their enterprises, deep sleep. Perhaps under some altanas there is the woman that waits for them but it is soon for returning home, first it takes the refreshing sleep. It needs to work to the torn sails and while everything this happens who sleeps he dreams and who works to the sails thinks about the captain and the defeated battle and the victory craved loot of the last battle war to bring to his beloved.

 

 

UNIQUE IN THE WORLD

 

Day of victory

hearts will sing

like the stars

 

the town lives

a moment of miniature sepulchre

 

Again a contrast a victory where hearts reach the stars to shout their joy it’s out from a real city where the sepulchre in miniature is our miserable life of every day distant miles and glory miles from stars and oneness. Everything is small decadent seriale, everything tears the poet's heart been born to vast greater enterprises more to-storms that only in the pages of his verses can live today.
