Vexen In Twilight Town

The sound of trains

[-7 literature]

The sound of trains my home (E. Bellini)

The noise of the trains is a book of love poems in fact arrivals, meetings and departures. Stations, tracks, palms against the glass doors that open and close between passersby hurried and distracted. And in all this, the passenger who "reveals" the recognition, "words that then become meat / eyes, hair, hands."
Here are some verses from the collection of Eleonora Bellini "The noise of the trains" (section passes a mosaic) published types Book Editor (2007) with the final note of Ariodante Mariani.

4. Rosa
The palm of the hand against the glass of the window
-c 'was a man from the sidewalk that

strongly pressed that hand-
revealed in the pink lines
plots pitches of a lifetime.
interweaving the other hand said,
another open palm against the glass
and tangible and it was cold detachment.
........................................ When the train
move, the start seemed
ad exile.
(p.12)

5. Gold

The meeting place is noon,
and when the sun burns us
has not thought, when the station
counts his journeys, the cradle of its crowds.
A stronger beat gives the signal:
brake the train, the doors and down
who was awaited. It reveals
the passenger takes the shape
notes, the more you want.
fade in the air and then the words are meat,
eyes, hair and hands. This opens the
hortus conclusus recognition.
(p.13)


12. Grey

The third train was a departure

faster and almost imperceptible.
just had time to see
stop, open the mouth, swallowing
guests that I already winked
mocking the tail lamp. Against

my stop on the track unreasonable, and against

my childhood nostalgia nascent

broke the wrath of a homeless man who took off the pitch:
every instance is starting,
ogni istante ti appressa
la morte –mi gridò. Con un gesto
osceno
squarciò il velo che mi copriva gli occhi:
già mi si allontanava su quel treno
un prezioso frammento di futuro
(p.20)
