Le Traiettorie Delle Mongolfiere

Leaving imperceptible traces
the trajectories of hot air balloons
and the man watching the sky
does not unravel the flight's tangle
and no longer distinguishes the beginning
of when they took off
above the moorings and the ballast they took off
taken off the moorings and the ballast
they took off
to watch them they are almost still
full moons against the clear sky
and the man watching over them
now is no longer sure
if they really ever took off
or if they have always been there
without ties, colorful and still
like this

even us, even us
with eyes against the wind in the sky
we have searched and lost
the traces of their flight
during the afternoon clouds
in the afternoons of the cities
but who knows where it all began
who knows

even us, even us
with hands pointed to the sky
we have chased and lost
the traces of their flight
even us, even us
in the afternoon clouds
in the afternoons of the cities
but who knows where it all began
who knows
