Sooner or later I'll put
with ways to play
frills in appearance
else to think
is not the best football?
between sand and dust
glitters angle
that smacks of death, I will stop
thinking about my hands
tremble if ever,
hesitate if ever,
if this breeze air
turning into a wall
that m'investe and crushes
the heart, the heart ...
he brought me here
trails mined
to save lives, unknowing,
the heart, the heart
a blaster Italian
... proud.

tambourines and drums punctuate
sounds repetitive and hypnotic
beaten by the hands of land
in ancient dance the night
daggers sharp challenge
roteati touch sides
and arms hurt,
confront fearlessly
in slashes and lunges,
chase in the square
exhausted in the patrol
festive August
to vanish at dawn.
All around the stars are silent
just falls.

dedicated to pinch fencing to a tarantella, which takes place during the night between 15 and 16 August on the Feast of St. Rocco in Ruffano ... where there was a battle similar to what happened in ancient times among people with unfinished business or to secure the respect and dominance in Roma families from which they came ... in this case is actually used daggers, now only bare hands.
