Dialect Poetry of Southern Italy (Italian Poetry in Translation Book 2)

Snowfall

Suddenly, skies darkened
clouds swarmed
and a burst of snow
enwhitened the world.
Upon that cottony silence
time stopped to catch its breath,
and forgot to pass.
You could feel the embers of your thoughts
dying. Outside, a pack of children,
cut loose, rejoiced.
(Translated by Anthony Molino)
