Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello - Nathaniel - The Blackberries Place

2014-11-07 0

Nat is in the country of his youth.

(In the open country, among woods and flowery meadows.)

Nat:
I'm here alone,
People love pure world of childhood.
My sweetheart isn't here:
Once she was here.
My friends, that read, see and hear:
I'll tell you about a child
With his women and a father,
it's normal, in the background.
He wanted to find again
His sweetheart Overseas.

Marcia:
I'm here, too.
Our senses will be satisfied
In this our new meeting.
I'm the same woman,
You should be the same man.

(She shows off her body.)

Nat:
A time this was my breast,
I loved it,
I didn't want to leave it.
I feel that longing,
Languishing, subtle thrill.

(The woman disappears.)

I was an enchanted child:
Now I'll dig the ground.
It is winter in my vines,
In spring vine-shoots will grow.
This is future,
It isn't past.

To be continued

Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello
