but not exactly
qual piuma al vento
for it’s still possible to figure out
the tangled route of the south-east wind
whereas I don’t know
will never know
why this sudden cold
scoffing my shoulders –
why you kept on walking
on your own two legs
firm, with your famous
smile in place
shining in the repeated
circle of yourself
without having changed
d’accento
even if you have changed
di pensier.
