The Ecstasy to guess, Were a receipted Bliss If Grace could talk - Emily Dickinson
2.
Not knowing when the Dawn will come, I open every Door, Or has it Feathers, like a Bird, Or Billows, like a Shore - Emily Dickinson
3.
Morning, that comes but once, Considers coming twice - Two Dawns upon a single Morn Make Life a sudden price - Emily Dickinson
4.
Sunset that screens, reveals - Enhancing what we see By menaces of Amethyst And Moats of Mystery. Emily Dickinson
5.
This World is not Conclusion. A sequel stands beyond - Invisible, as Music - But positive, as Sound - It beckons, and it baffles - Philosophy, dont know - And through a Riddle, at the last - Sagacity, must go - To guess it, puzzles scholars - To gain it, Men have borne Contempt of Generations And Crucifixion, shown - Faith slips - and laughs, and rallies - Blushes, if any see - Plucks at a twig of Evidence - And asks a Vane, the way - Much Gesture, from the Pulpit - Strong Hallelujahs roll - Narcotics cannot still the Tooth That nibbles at the soul - Emily Dickinson
6.
Better - than Music! For I - who heard it - I was used - to the Birds - before - This - was different - 'Twas Translation - Of all tunes I knew - and more - 'Twas'nt contained - like other stanza - No one could play it - the second time - But the Composer - perfect Mozart - Perish with him - that keyless Rhyme! So - Children - told how Brooks in Eden - Bubbled a better - melody - Quaintly infer - Eve's great surrender - Urging the feet - that would - not - fly - Children - matured - are wiser - mostly - Eden - a legend - dimly told - Eve - and the Anguish - Grandame's story - But - I was telling a tune - I heard - Not such a strain - the Church - baptizes - When the last Saint - goes up the Aisles - Not such a stanza splits the silence - When the Redemption strikes her Bells - Let me not spill - it's smallest cadence - Humming - for promise - when alone - Humming - until my faint Rehearsal - Drop into tune - around the Throne - Emily Dickinson
7.
Beauty - be not caused - It Is - Chase it, and it ceases - Chase it not, and it abides - Overtake the Creases In the Meadow - when the Wind Runs his fingers thro' it - Deity will see to it That You never do it - Emily Dickinson
8.
Our share of night to bear - Our share of morning - Our blank in bliss to fill, Our blank in scorning - Here a star, and there a star, Some lose their way! Here a mist - and there a mist - Afterwards - Day! Emily Dickinson
9.
Will there really be a "morning"? Is there such a thing as "Day"? Could I see it from the mountains If I were as tall as they? Has it feet like Water lilies? Has it feathers like a Bird? Is it brought from famous countries Of which I have never heard? Oh some Scholar! Oh some Sailor! Oh some Wise Man from the skies! Please to tell a little Pilgrim Where the place called "morning" lies! Emily Dickinson

about

for a couple of years that toy harp I had bought from Schoenhut has been abandoned and forgotten .. but now it seems its time has come .. pentatonic tuning, contact microphones and .. let's go .. small daily sonic meditations .. origami ..

the poems of Emily Dickinson - "a Dickinson a day" - came along and ruled ..
some friends and collaborators - hugs and everlasting gratitude to them - gathered

***
a volte si prendono cose che ti sembra di desiderare molto .. le adoperi subito e poi magari smetti presto di usarle .. a volte invece succede esattamente il contrario, e cioè che stiano lì per del tempo e non sai che fartene .. magari il loro tempo viene più tardi .. a me è successo così con un'arpetta della Schoenhut .. per un paio di anni è rimasta lì, abbandonata e praticamente dimenticata .. ma da qualche mese a questa parte sembra giunto il suo momento .. accordatura pentatonica, microfoni a contatto e via .. piccole meditazioni quotidiane, giochi sonori .. origami

Emily Dickinson come guida ..
gli amici fanno compagnia ..
