Riviera



Su una striscia di terra
nella provincia di Ferrara,
tende simil antica Persia
svolazzanti e tese in triangoli
d’ombra per la villeggiatura
d’occasione; ricordi vividi,
la bocca sempre impastata
d’amaro. Nel baluginare
del sole non avviene alcun
miracolo. Sulla proda stanno
appollaiate le Muse, ma tacciono.
Stanco si affianca al palo di legno
l’uomo perduto. La verità: una roccia
smarrita sotto una sabbia inscavabile.
Ma poi le cose cessano di farsi simboli.
E finisce la giornata. Un dove sul mare,
in riviera.
