Poesia di Lorenzo Pataro
scelta da Barbara Gortan
Insegnami la quiete delle gazze
di vedetta sui cipressi
e recita al contrario rovesciati
tutti i salmi che conosci
come fosse un cifrario per il volo,
impara dal silenzio tra i richiami
il segreto di ogni correre in picchiata,
posa la tua insonnia e la tua febbre
– di pane che lievita la notte –
sulle tegole spostate dalla pioggia
e aspetta che ogni passero
spezzi l’ala come un’ostia contro il vento
che ripeta in ogni verso
il miracolo dell’uva che fermenta
ciò che ha visto da lontano
ciò che brilla tra la rena del torrente
e nel raduno dei frammenti nel suo nido
scopre qualcosa che non sai, che non cerchi,
che punge quando dormi nelle scapole
ferite dal respiro troppo umano.
*
Nell’attesa di un chiarore
ci passiamo il talismano come un fuoco
da bruciare lento sulle dita, l’amuleto
di carta velina da mordere coi denti –
tu accendi un’altra fiamma nel calice
verde sulla tavola, leggi i tuoi tarocchi
e sui fiori illustrati segni al contrario i vaticini
mentre fuori un altro anno
rovescia i nostri nomi e l’alfabeto.
(da Amuteli, Ensemble, 2022)
