EL POETA LÍQUIDO
DYLAN'S CROWN
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 Quarry (https://seventhquarrypress.com) A further collection ‘Our Father Eclipse’ is due to be published by Culture Matters in April 2021.

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.

Bloom
I linger solitary,
To taste one kiss of the evening breeze,
And feel the freshness of dew descending
Blooms gather their tendrils in knots of beauty,
Hang their clusters in loving profusion;
Faithfully renewing their perfumed petals
And honey-sweet pendants,
In the hope of autumn

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.

Those craning birds are choice for you, songs that jump back
To the built voice, or fly with winter to the bells
(from: The spire cranes by Dylan Thomas)
Cranes at the Agamon HaHula Nature Reserve
painting by Helen Bar-Lev
St. Patrick’s Day Cranes
I heard them first,
then saw them
through the buds of the cherry tree
six or so small flocks
each in its own V
swooping, circling
calling, always calling
like staccato trombones
(you’d mistake them for storks
if it wasn’t for their squawking)
then, decision made,
all the flocks join up
form a long long V
redirect themselves northwards
and disappear into
a St. Patrick’s day sky

Sirpa Mononen:
Finnish artist living in Switzerland. Acrylics, inks and bio resin are her main media.
Her job is to dream and to create new sights and worlds, where we understand each other without words, through imagery language. Her aim is the circularisation of «beeing rootless, yet not alone».
The vast tundra in her soulscape in the arctic inspires her endlessly. Another deep-going source for her works is diving into the ocean – the shortest way to the (fish) heaven. She says:
Who I am, what I think and feel, how I see the world and particularly what I have to say and what I have to give, it’s all in my works.
O, make me a mask
