  9. L’HEIMLICH INAFFERRABILE CORRE
    di V.S.Gaudio

    l’oggetto o questa immagine fotografica
    che si rigira verso il poeta non si oppone al reale
    ne costituisce un altro più sottile che avvolge
    la prima immagine del segno della sua scomparsa
    il melone d’acqua è la soluzione quasi totale
    del mondo in cui corre l’Heimlich inafferrabile
    che si spacca per i colpi del Jésuve, vuoi che l’esagramma
    sostituito sia Ta Ko vuoi che sia Hong
    è sempre l’alterità radicale di questo culo-cosa
    che riesumato tra le altre cose, tutte estranee
    le une alle altre ma complici, tutte opache
    ma funzionali, spunta al meridiano come
    attrattore strano continuamente spaccato
    e contemporaneamente così maturo e irredento
    il globo della durata e della trave maestra
    questa immagine così pesante che il poeta
    porta fino alla vista inespugnabile del
    suo farsi oggetto radicale che evidenzia
    il cammino del farsi incontro e il perseverare
    nell’orbita di un globo che ruota

    (da: V.S.Gaudio, L'Enzuve, copyright 2007)
