ReplyDeleteL’HEIMLICH INAFFERRABILE CORRE
ReplyDeletedi 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
