“Deserto”
62out of 100
Un vacuo fluire
scevro dal fare,
dal ruminare,
scandito solo
dal lento trascolorare
della luce del crepuscolo.
Uno spazio indefinibile,
ma tangibile,
dove l’Ineffabile
gradualmente si palesa
all’alma in perseverante attesa.
From the judges
A polished, musically coherent Italian contemplative lyric whose abstraction keeps it competent rather than striking.
