DESIDERIO

Penso di me
che frugo con la mano
il corpo arreso e
aperto a ogni assalto
e ascolto intanto,
teso sul tonfo
del tuo cuore,
la voce che cigola
e che stride
pronunciando:
"amore".
Penso di me che
conto piano
ogni anfratto e appiglio
scoperta e nascondiglio
tuo di me che punto
e mi assottiglio
e cerco e inseguo
misurandola sul serio
la causa
di tanto desiderio.

Translations:

Language: german

VERLANGEN

Ich denke an mich
während meine Hand
den ergebenen,
jedem Angriff gefügigen
Körper durchwühlt,
und lausche,
gebannt vom dumpfen Schlag
deines Herzens,
der Stimme, die gellend
und greinend:
«Liebe»
schreit.
Ich denke an mich,
wie ich leise
jede Kluft und jeden Halt entdecke,
deine Blößen und Verstecke
wie ich ziele und schwinde
und suche und jage
und ernsthaft den Ursprung
dieses Verlangens
ergründe.

Aus dem Italienischen von Verena von Koskull
Language: english

DESIRE

I think of myself
whose hand caresses
the willing body
lying open to any assault
and meanwhile listen
supine on the throbbing
of your heart
to a voice grating
and squeaking
the word
               ‘love’.
I think of myself who
quietly count your
every crevice and bump
known and unknown places,
of myself who prods
and reduces for myself
and chases and hunts
to consider earnestly
 the cause
of so much desire.

Translated by Boris Peters
Language: french

DÉSIR

Je pense à moi
qui fouille avec la main
le corps offert et
ouvert à chaque assaut
et j’écoute en attendant,
tendu sur le bruit sourd
de ton cœur,
la voix qui grince
et crie
en prononçant:
                «amour».
Je pense à moi qui
compte lentement
tes anfractuosités et points d’appui
autant découverte qu’abri
à moi qui pointe
et me réduis
et cherche et poursuis
en la mesurant véritablement
la cause
d’un tel désir.

Traduit par Francis Catalano et Antonella D’Agostino
Language: spanish

DESEO

Pienso de mí
que froto con la mano
el cuerpo rendido
y abierto a cada asalto
y escucho entretanto,
tenso sobre el zumbido
de tu corazón,
la voz que gime
y chilla
pronunciando:
“amor”.
Pienso de mí que
cuento despacio
cada quiebro y asidero
desnudez y escondedero
tuyo, de mí que apunto
y  me reduzco
y busco y sigo
midiendo a ver si veo
la causa
de tanto deseo.

Traducción al español: José Luis Reina Palazón
Language: portuguese

DESEJO

Assim, de chofre
apanho-me no espelho
apertado no abraço
enquanto me projecto
para além de mim:
contrato desejo
suplício de um sujeito
que mima a fusão. Mas
anula a ficção
e o sonho
da união mais total
o próprio objecto
duro que, entretanto,
cresce no meio
de nós dois
e que se opõe
corpo estranho
à sua própria afirmação.

Trad. português: Manuel Simões e Maria do Rosario Pedreira
