Giampiero Neri

THE WESTERN LOOK OF THE DRESS

Corso Donati, the Metro
burrows its various tunnels into the gardens;
roots that did not speak uselessly;
the bones of some provincial Roman;
and a fibre suitcase;
the rail tracks of the North Station.
I don’t remember now all the details.
A time gone by runs off at the back of the trees.

DE WESTELIJKE VERSCHIJNINGSVORM VAN DE KLEDING

Corso Donati, de metro
legt tunnels onder de plantsoenen open,
boomwortels die niet onbezonnen praatten,
de beenderen van een Romein in de provincie,
een koffertje van fiber,
de spoorweg naar het Noordstation.
Ik weet niet meer alle bijzonderheden,
vergane tijd snelt weg achter de bomen.

L\'ASPETTO OCCIDENTALE DEL VESTITO

Corso Donati, il metrò
scava diverse gallerie ai giardini
radici che non dissero inutilmente
le ossa di qualche romano in provincia
e una valigia di fibra
la ferrovia della stazione Nord,
ora non ricordo tutti i particolari
un tempo passato corre via dietro gli alberi.
