Father by Michela Zanarella

Father by Michela Zanarella

Father,
I boast of the color and of the sound
that, laughing, you pursue
across seasons and wombs of light.
I say to the skin
how much we both sink roots 
into impulse and cities.
You always occupy more
depth of my playing at life,
that space of  warm similarity
to the glass cabinets of a dream.
In part, in your asphalt of man
I seek vapors of everlasting pride,
that silence that I know,
sailing ship of great warmth.

Translated in english by Leanne Hoppe
