> Diving
>
> Penetration of blueness and depths
> with a perfected body.
> Splashing into two elements.
> The air. The water.
> Infinitesimal calculation
> of balance. Elegance
> with an arcuated back.
> At once, the winged Icarus aiming
> to hit the sun
> like a vibrating arrow
> and humble dolphin
> in the wide ocean of Sidney.
>
> Or else,
> dead soul, caught in an eternal flight
> or rhythm and flow,
> seeming to have grown in
> confidence
> with the after world
> of your stone tomb. What a splash
> into concentric centuries.
> For ever spinning towards a splendid
> bottom.
> Beautiful extension of crystals.
> You winner. Diamond.
> Body of faultlessness.

> Erminia Passannanti
