(Swans - March 23, 2009)
far
yatra na anyat pashyati
where we cannot see each other
e altri sopportano tutte le miserie
and others bear all calamities
mundus sempiternus hominum
egestate cibi peremptus
an endless universe of men,
dead of poverty
ma se uno muore non importa a nessuno
purché sia sconosciuto e lontano
but if someone dies, it doesn't matter to anybody,
provided that he's far and unknown.
The author thanks Giusy Chirco.
