...ay, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?

...o,
«guarda com'entri e di cui tu ti fide;
non t'inganni l'ampiezza de l'intrare!».
E 'l duca mio a lui: «Perch? pur gride?
Non impedir lo suo fatale andare:
vuolsi cos? col? dove si puote
ci? che si vuole, e pi? non dimandare».
Or incomincian le dolenti note
a farmisi sentire; or son venuto
l? dove molto pianto mi percuote.
Io venni in loco d'ogne luce muto,
che mugghia come fa mar per tempesta,
se da contrari venti ? combattuto.

...nel sole:
aquila s? non li s'affisse unquanco.
E s? come secondo raggio suole
uscir del primo e risalire in suso,
pur come pelegrin che tornar vuole,
cos? de l'atto suo, per li occhi infuso
ne l'imagine mia, il mio si fece,
e fissi li occhi al sole oltre nostr'uso.
Molto ? licito l?, che qui non lece
a le nostre virt?, merc? del loco
fatto per proprio de l'umana spece.
Io nol soffersi molto, n? s? poco,
ch'io nol vedessi sfavillar dintorno,

PURGATORIO
Purgatorio: Canto I
Per correr miglior acque alza le vele
omai la navicella del mio ingegno,
che lascia dietro a sé mar sì crudele;
e canterò di quel secondo regno
dove l'umano spirito si purga
e di salire al ciel diventa degno.
Ma qui la morta poesì resurga,
o sante Muse, poi che vostro sono;
e qui Caliopè alquanto surga,
seguitando i...Read more of this...

...e long days you laboured
In the care home, your care-worn comings home
To sit with Brenda Williams, po?te maudit sang pur,
Labouring together to bring to light poems buried alive
And turn them into a book, the living text
Proof enough of your divine gift as muse
And enchantress of both word and screen.
Now in far Indonesia you strive to strike a bargain
With an uncaring world, webmaster with magic fingertips
You engrave the words of us, careworn poets of our age...Read more of this...
