Spegni i miei occhi: io ti vedrò lo stesso,

sigilla le mie orecchie: io potrò udirti,

e senza piedi camminare verso te

e senza bocca tornare a invocarti.

Spezza le mie braccia e io ti stringerò

con il mio cuore che si è fatto mano,

arresta i battiti del cuore, sarà il cervello

a pulsare e se lo getti in fiamme

io ti porterò nel flusso del mio sangue.

I would like to watch you sleeping,

which may not happen.

I would like to watch you,

sleeping. I would like to sleep

with you, to enter

your sleep as its smooth dark wave

slides over my head

and walk with you through that lucent

wavering forest of bluegreen leaves

with its watery sun & three moons

towards the cave where you must descend,

towards your worst fear

I would like to give you the silver

branch, the small white flower, the one

word that will protect you

from the grief at the center

of your dream, from the grief

at the center. I would like to follow

you up the long stairway

again & become

the boat that would row you back

carefully, a flame

in two cupped hands

to where your body lies

beside me, and you enter

it as easily as breathing in

I would like to be the air

that inhabits you for a moment

only. I would like to be that unnoticed

& that necessary.

From Selected Poems II: 1976-1986 by Margaret Atwood.

"Colui che viene a te restando se stesso — che ti desidera, senza averne bisogno — che, pur potendo stare senza di te, sceglie di stare con te — che lega la sua stessa esistenza al tuo esserci."
