2. In the last number of the Cafè Review ( http://www.thecafereview.com/?m=201211) the is one poem of mine in honour of Lenore Kandel

   Lenore Kandel, My memory, my vision of you

   It is a commemoration
   a mass in your honour,
   it is a mass a ceremony -
   there is a rustling of skirts
   of skin
   of arms
   and sombody invokes your name -
   after far away a train arrives
   it that of my memories of you
   those I have not -
   I have not memories of you
   I have only visions of you,
   are as the memories the visions?
   In a certain sense yes
   on the contrary in all the sense yes
   are the images of the mind also those, the visions,
   there is in short that strange train of memories
   this train slender, slender covered of green
   slender -
   I am celebrating a mass for you
   a poetic mass for you
   ther is also the organ and white voices
   is a mass for you -
   nobody call you
   nobody call your spirit
   they don’t call you
   but we remember you,
   I remember you in the sense that I evoke you
   you old and suffering
   but yet always poet
   not as those with a degree,
   things like american congress,
   not, you are the doctor poet of the life
   you…
   on the stagedressed like a nun
   nun loving men and spirits
   nun of the life
   as it is
   do you remember?
   I think you are now in some hermitage
   on the mountain
   you have goes on that path
   the mistic path
   seating down and meditating
   and for you also writing -
   the is an old disk
   that is turning falling
   and a polar antartic wind
   and somebody knocks
   insist , calls -
   you foxed flag of the mind
   I commemorate and don’t forget you -
   you have open a path
   like Allen
   you have open the path
   but to do it it is needs to have lived a lot
   mistaked, failed
   met and loved
   it is needs to have soffered a lot -
   you in your ill back
   I commemorate you
   I commemorate you
   my friend
   I love you and you not even know it
   ypu have never known
   and you never will know it -
   Livio has done a portrait of you that seems me
