Poems 1957-1961
Safe Conduct(Aria II)
With birds drunk with sleep
and trees shot through with wind
the day awakens, and the sea empties
a foaming cup to honor it.
Rivers surge towards the wide water,
and the land lays loving vows
of pure air inside the mouth
with its fresh flowers.
The Earth will have no mushroom cloud,
nor spit out any creature towards heaven,
with rain and thunderbolts it abolishes
the unbearable voice of destruction.
In us it wants the lively brothers
and to see the grey sisters awakened,
the King of Fish, the Royal Nightingale,
and, Prince of Fire, the Salamander.
For us it plants corals in the sea.
It orders forests to maintain the quiet,
for marble to swell its beautiful veins,
and once more for dew to settle on ashes.
Earth wants safe conduct in its orbit,
each day we have in the face of night,
so that from ancient beauty renewed graces
on a thousand and one mornings will arise.
