DEAD BLACKBIRD (it. MERLO)
Swiss/Italian literature has lost a unique and much loved voice, with the death of Swiss poet Giorgio Orelli, at the age of 92.
Following a poem, of which he says that it is one of his favorite and very own.

toccati di bianco volani andavan variando
protesi verso piogge
sottili, già primaverili
ditelo ai merli sui marmi invernali
prima che i fiori del diavolo
moltiplichino il becco
delirino azalee
