Antonio Santori Poems
Have you ever thought
you are God?
I have, always,
if the intertwined thread
...
I wish I'd
Never been in there.
In the wind that opened me
(chased me)
...
Overlooked. I've been
overlooked. One night
he will talk about me,
he will say: what a pity, I
...
You taught youths
craziness. Maybe that's why
you strove to make believe.
You dreamed of aphasic verse
...
That's why you dreamed of me.
You dreamed of me lying
like a woman before
intimacy. Was I
...
Like a thing.
Like the things
of the world that just stay
things. Unknown and
lonely things. Silent.
...
Then there were the almost
silent nights, from the bed you heard
the noises of others, of women workers feeling
the heat, of children clerks
...
Miracles. Gardens. You chasing
the magical cloud. Then altars. An olive
branch and the white woollen thread.
...
You see, here everything has already happened.
Men are trying
to relax. The day has open
eyes and the sun is an instant.

The Best Poem Of Antonio Santori
[Have you ever thought ]
Have you ever thought
you are God?
I have, always,
if the intertwined thread
that the life
of men omits
is the infinite writing.
You know that, because like
the others you skipped it.
The thread that holds
and saves your
entrance as puppets
is me.
It's me, compelled
to wait, the impassable,
the unravelled
that even if
read has always been
overlooked.
You poet thief.
I have always known
that in this
overlooked page
is your life.
Antonio?
You with fierce look on your face…
on the book counter.
You inattentive
and repressed boy… Antonio…
Where are you
now?
Translated by Tania Calcinaro
