Digital art by Rebecca Lowe to illustrate her poem as a response to "CLOWN IN THE MOON" by Dylan Thomas
Responding to Clown in the Moon
Yes, I am masking my many selves,
spinning off my tricks, acrobatic, tripping
freewheels into space
In truth, I am more Harlequin than clown,
painted many colours, a trickster
conjuring emotions,
juggling words – see
where they fall
And I can keep many things
in the air at once,
And I can sing you the music
of the spheres in every key,
without dropping a beat
The sky is my stave,
I am suspending my love
notes from the stars,
on a clear night,
you can hear them
dance...
Rebecca Lowe is a poet and organiser of spoken word events, based in Swansea, Wales. Her work has been published in many anthologies, both
nationally and internationally, and featured on radio, podcasts and festivals in the UK, US and India. Her first poetry collection Blood and Water was published in November 2020 by The Seventh

ROXI scursatone (ITALY): fiammiferi nel vento
tecnica mista su tela cm 60x60
Dipinto di Roxi Scursatone collegato alla sua poesia
Per Dylan Thomas 2021
E per i suoi versi:Sfioravamo i sobborghi della mente… /avremmo acceso fiammiferi nel
vento.
Avremmo(ancora) acceso fiammiferi ancora per te
E ancora ne accendo ancora per te nel vento che fluttua ne accendo
E che soffia forte di passione e scompiglia il dolore in questo tunnel della vita
Ora
Oscurata da un alito delittuoso di pandemia losca imprendibile e poderosa
Ma impalpabile come pulviscolo atmosferico
E per amore ancora mi accendo fiammiferaia
Ai tuoi occhi di vento smarriti ma giganteschi
Di segni di suoni di sogni per riportarti a casa
Nell’introvabile turbine d’un introverso disordine
Che vola imperdonabile dalla mia alla tua mente
Fino ai poeti che mai scendevano a dormire sulla terra
Ormai
Vento di luce di piacere e di baci che siedi lassù
Nei giardini ritrovati
Portandoti appresso tutti i tuoi sobborghi dagli allampanati sentieri fioriti di parole
Semi di luce
Per me
Di ieri oggi e non più di domani
Ombra di timidezza espansa che trionfa caracollando sulla luna.

“Un mantello di lucciole” “A cloak of fireflies”
acrylic colors on wood, 33 x 33 (2018)
Carezza mi sfiora
Accarezzo la luce
sollevo il viso
orizzonte lontano
luce al suo termine
cammino scalza
la terra è calda
i piedi leggeri
colmarsi di luce è cosa lieve
palpito del cuore
all’unisono batte
col respiro affannato
passi, palpiti
sguardo in attesa
una carezza mi sfiora
Caress touches me
I caress the light
I lift my face
distant horizon
light at its end
I walk barefoot
the earth is warm
light feet
to fill itself with light
is slight thing
heart flutters
in unison he beats
breathing tasty
steps, heartbeats
the gaze waiting
a caress touches me.
