In Homage to Shakespeare ( Romeo and Juliet)

In memoria di Jackie Stafford
amica inglese ( traduzione )

Mab
is the Queen
of the Fairies;
on her spider-legged chariot
she jumps
from one night to another
beyond the limits
of the time allowed,
crossing
all lovers' minds
to make them dream
of Love.
Mab
is the Queen
of tricks;
through the fogs
formed
by the mist of sighs,
she makes the world
drunk of madness,
she weaves the spirit winds
turning Romeo's tears
into a fresh morning drops of dew
while
Juliet dreams
under a moon petal
new stories
of young lovers
kissed by the sun.
