The Edge Of The World ( Naviarhaiku 422 )

'Giganti Rosse/Red Giants' reflects on what sacred may mean, the non-negotiable and radically vital choices of our life.

This sonopoem will be performed in Florence (Italy) by https://soundcloud.com/marcolucchi during the Festival 'PAESAGGI SONORI URBANI'.

'What if this is the time 
the non-negotiable self, the sacred.
The line we already crossed.
Nothing is more real than the wind 
in the winter when it cracks the skin and
clenches the throat, when it forces 
each frequency.
On the riverbank, it lashes 
the floodplains and then it pauses.
You told me about these years
the fatigue, and I do nothing
but ponder over our presence.
Where have we been? What are we
bringing along? History is
a tale within a tale 
a series of omissions, hypotheses
and mitigations. 
And we may desecrate remembrance
and contaminate our becoming
but the urge to outlast the death
of the sun slams us. 
Massively entrenched in the anxiety 
to get lost, evolving away from
the main sequence like red giants.  
A few decades down the line
we will meet, I will sit down across 
from you and I’ll ask once more
do you know my name?' 

'E se fosse questo il tempo, il sé
non negoziabile, il sacro.
Il confine ormai oltrepassato.
Nulla è più vero del vento in inverno
quando taglia la pelle e serra
la gola, quando forza le frequenze.
Sull’argine sferza le golene
e poi si arresta.
Mi hai detto della fatica di questi
anni, e non faccio che pensare
alla nostra presenza. 
Dove siamo stati? Cosa 
ci accompagna? La storia è
un racconto nel racconto
una serie di omissioni, presunzioni
e attenuanti. 
E possiamo profanare il ricordo
e contaminare il divenire
ma la foga di sopravvivere allo spegnersi
del sole ci sbatte addosso. 
Radicata in modo massivo l’ansia 
di perdersi, uscire dalla sequenza
principale come giganti rosse.
Qualche decade più oltre
ci incontreremo, mi sederò
di fronte a te e ti chiederò di nuovo
conosci il mio nome?'
