Se parlano di me e restano in disparte,
chi sopravviverà sul mio letto di morte?
Se dicono: “Chissà se vive ancora un poco!?”
senza sapere che non son morta per gioco.
Mi avevano promesso un posto fra i beati
purché io rimanessi a viver tra i dannati
per diciassette anni o qualche mese in più
da quando son sfuggita per un pelo a Belzebù.
Non seppi poi più scegliere tra la vita e la morte,
incerta sul da farsi rimisi la mia sorte
in mano a tanta gente che, incerta e disarmata,
mi prospettò una lunga ma alquanto dubbia vita.
Eppure ricordavo di aver detto a qualcuno
che mi fosse gradito non far pietà a nessuno
se come per incanto mi fossi ritrovata,
per scherzo del destino una Bella Addormentata.
La Strega della Scienza, tra l'altro, aveva detto:
“Nessun principe del reame la farà rialzar dal letto!”.
Il sonno era potente - lo so - è un'illusione
svegliar chi della Morte ha bevuto la pozione.
E goccia dopo goccia si è spento l'entusiasmo
di vedermi rifiorire come fior che sboccia a maggio,
e goccia meno goccia s'è spento anche il mio cuore
che dipendeva solo da una linda soluzione.
Rumore su rumore per le strade del Paese
come al solito è chi ama a farne più le spese.
Parlano ancor di me senza lasciarmi in pace,
come se fossi morta dissanguata sulla Croce.
Ma non è mio il Calvario, non è più mio il dolore,
la Bella se ne va senza nessun rancore.
Ma parlano di me senza farsi da parte
mentre da tempo ormai ho abbracciato la mia Sorte.
