Above the blue…

Manuscript dated 6-12-82 for the death of his father Piero (unpublished during the artist’s lifetime)

above the blue moist sky
here the colour earth..red
in between an action that unites
the imprint, between the two planes there is the sign
of the inclined face, and as if cancelled before
is the face of Simeone
is the face of father.

The incised mouth has just opened to announce
That that dialogue has begun.

The paper is packing paper, by preference,
the sign is only a trace,
has no value. The voice is outside.

A river where the spring and the light
mingle in the word.
