Poem
Milo De Angelis
An instant of the earth
An instant of the earth,an ease with things,
a morning blessing we offer
and remember, a home
found in the turmoil: a time
that you understood a little at a time, slow
constructions a little at a time, an earthly
calendar. I don’t know
what happened then, but what
happened, my love, and why,
and why?

An instant of the earth
Un istante della terra,
uno stare colle cose,
bene mattutino che si offre
e si ricorda, dimora
trovata nel tumulto: un tempo
che capivi a mano a mano, lente
costruzioni a mano a mano, calendario
terrestre. Non so poi
cosa è accaduto, cosa
è accaduto, amore mio, come
mai, come mai.
