Dialogue

by Guido Monte and Silvia Dello Russo

guido: streben, in the nothingness, we’re  along a thread:

nobody is looking for tempo pasou

Silvia: My language is the home of my thoughts

My thoughts are never asking or wondering

They just listen

They listen to my antique language

They welcome any antique words

Who come like questions to an already given answer.

if you ask me then to go and sit on the stone of this rise
facing this immense valley dug by the river of all languages
I protract myself hearing all words flowing from that river,

echoing against the slopes of the mountains
till they come to me

Et toutes paroles arrivent à moi tandis

qu’elles sont déjà là depuis des milliers de siècles.

Et tout d’un coup ma pensée sent du blé

de la vallée et de l’eau fraiche de la fleuve

So verziehe ich jedes Dinges das gesagt ist

Durch die Er-fahrung der Ursprache,

die mir im Mund brennt.

guido: new and antique languages,

new and antique worlds…

all is one
