“WHERE I CAME FROM” poem and image by Timileyin Gabriel Olajuwon, Nigeria
WHERE I CAME FROM
This is a song on the lips of gods…
Since gods are spirits,
where do gods live? – you may ask;
gods live in the desert of milk
of honey set in between dry bamboos,
they house in a cave of public streets
of living dead – wrenched of the earth,
they hide in the rusty land of gold
of flowing streams set on swollen faces,
they live in the mind of riches and
the thought of life’s tussle.
gods live in the body
In the memories of our being;
of war, pains, smile and joy,
they live in the red wine of our broken bones
and in the seasoned smile of broken promises
(Epistle of lies);
gods live in the pit of unknown pity
on the vast field of greenish grains.
this song reminds me of
the tears of my mother,
the pains of my father,
the plights of my brothers,
and the “dryness” of my sisters…
it reminds me of silence
in the memory of where I came from!

冬天的夜 poem by Lidia Chiarelli, translated by Tzemin Ition Tsai
在半圓形的月光下，透過樹影婆娑的窗口
男人常常在冬天的夜看到…
出自冬之夢 由戴倫‧湯瑪師( DYLAN THOMAS)
伴隨著椋鳥
在風中的最後一場遊戲
霧裡隨處飄揚的小水滴
倘佯在整個海面上
雪花在冬天的夕陽下
閃爍
月
不惜被沙灘上的海浪
刻畫著
瞧，就在那兒
我們的話語
也逐漸地
凋零
牙兒
在古老的迷宮中
探路
黑暗中

Poème pour Camille Claudel
Il y a toujours quelque chose d’absent qui me tourmente.
― Camille Claudel
(19 octobre 1943)
Nuages denses
corbeaux invisibles
flottants dans le ciel de la Provence
le vent s’enrage
et ouvre des fissures bleues
petite fille étonnée
seule, tu écoutes la voix du silence
et regardes les grandes flaques
et l’argile brune
cadeau précieux
que la pluie de la nuit
a apporté
pour la dernière fois
dans une lumière irréelle
de cette boue
des créatures étranges
s’animent
caressées
par ta main tremblante
abandonnée à leur vie
c’est alors qu’un calme inconnu
te saisit
et tu souris
infiniment libre
en ce matin d’octobre
à Montdesvergues

Da un’idea di Darwin Pastorin: un incontro per mettere in luce quanto il poeta gallese Dylan Thomas e il cantautore americano Bob Dylan hanno in comune.
Nel 1959 Robert Zimmerman iniziò a presentarsi come “Bob Dylan” durante l’esecuzione di un concerto di musica folk . Come in seguito rivelato nella sua autobiografia, l’influenza di Dylan Thomas andò ben oltre la scelta del nome d’arte arrivando a plasmare lo stile e i contenuti delle canzoni che Bob Dylan ha scelto di scrivere.
