Luce, che si libera dall’abisso

Di quello spazio nero soffocante e profondo,

come una visione altissima e acuta della ferita

riconosciuta e trasfigurata.

Light, breaking out of the abyss

that suffocating, deep black,

like a high, sharp view of the wound,

acknowledged and transfigured.

Monica Porta, translation by Amie Robin Weiss
