Migrating Birds [English] / Uccelli migratori [Italiano]

Migrating Birds


Over the lighthouse of Stella Maris -
two hundred pelicans in flight.
Heavy air today. Slowly they flap
over the greying sea, over
the greening mountain rocks,
an arrowhead pointed North.
Head to tail to head they lock
in the pattern, secure
in this struture. Suddenly
fethers are scattered, the line
is broken from fear of the whirling
chopper descending roof high,
desperate to find the bright
square, the tightened center,
the landing platform
of Rambam, on sea.


      Uccelli migratori
      a Shaul

      Sul faro di "Stella Maris"
      aleggiano duecento pellicani,
      aria gravida oggi e il lento strepitio
      sul mare grigiastro,
      sulle rocce del monte verdeggiante.
      come punta di freccia inclinata all'ins?
      si congiungono coda testa
      chiudono una struttura bloccata e protetta
      e solo all'improvviso s'infrange la loro fila
      e le loro piume volano e si diffondono,
      dallo spavento dell'elicottero in miscuglio
      abbassandosi sui tetti e cercando precipitoso.
      disperato il centro
      del quadrato luminoso:
      la stretta superfice dell'atterraggio
      all'ospedale "Rambam", sul mare.

Aprile 1985.
