Tu prova ad avere un mondo nel cuore
e non riesci ad esprimerlo con le parole,
e la luce del giorno si divide la piazza
tra un villaggio che ride
e te, lo scemo che passa
e neppure la notte ti lascia da solo:
gli altri sognan se stessi e tu sogni di loro
E sì, anche tu andresti a cercare
le parole sicure per farti ascoltare :
per stupire mezz'ora basta un libro di storia,
io cercai di imparare la Treccani a memoria
e dopo maiale, Majakowsky, malfatto,
continuarono gli altri fino a leggermi matto
E senza sapere a chi dovessi la vita
in un manicomio io l'ho resituita :
qui sulla collina dormo mal volentieri
eppure c'è luce ormai nei miei pensieri,
qui nella penombra ora invento parole
ma rimpiango una luce, la luce del sole
Le mie ossa regalano ancora alla vita :
le regalano ancora erba fiorita.
Ma la vita è rimasta nelle voci in sordina
di chi ha perso lo scemo e lo piange in collina,
di chi ancora bisbiglia con la stessa ironia
- una morte pietosa lo strappò alla pazzia
