E cerco nel silenzio un sorriso una magia
qualcosa che mi faccia compagnia.
Mi perdo fra le nuvole che aff ollano il soffi tto
un libro un fi lm con un fi nale a eff etto.
E trovo una carezza perduta nei blue jeans
un guanto, un fi lo d'erba e fumo un joint.
Ma io non l'ho mai fatto, neppure per natale.
Si dice che una volta non fa male.
Maria c'aveva un brivido totale sulla schiena
Maria c'aveva le ali e una catena.
Maria c'aveva un gusto tutto da inventare
ed un vestito blu per carnevale.
Ed ora che la immagino su quell'ottovolante
e un energumeno da spasimante
che pende da quegli occhi neri, neri come il sole.
Di come quando cristo fuori piove.
E piove piove piove che non me le manda a dire
e non risparmia neanche dieci lire.
E accende una candela sui resti del mio cuore
che annaspa e reclama l'ascensore.
E a tutti i santi in fl la che vengono in soccorso
risparmio l'imbarazzo di un discorso.
E alla vicina attenta che ostenta compassione
non apro nè la porta nè il balcone.
E osservo il frigorifero più vuoto d'un barile
abbandonato da anni giù nel cortile.
E imploro come un cencio la canna del caff è
anche se sono già le ventitrè.
Chè se ci fosse un cana fra queste quattro mura
potrei sfi dare anche la notte scura.
Chè se ci fosse un gatto, un puma o una pantera
non mi farebbe nulla una bufera.
Maria, c'avevi intuito e un tattoo sulla schiena
e a volte l'energia di un fi ume in piena.
Maria, c'avevi tutto. Un viaggio una canzone.
Un mare calmo, l'Etna in eruzione.
Ed ora che ti immagino al cinema d'estate
con un qualunque bullo da bravate.
Che pende dai tuoi occhi neri, neri come il sole.
Di come quando cristo fuori piove.
