E in centro, chiuso come un gomitolo,
c’era questo spazio – la Laguna.
Notammo alla fine della battigia un folto
gruppo di signore, pallide, emaciate,
con labbra esangui. Elegantissime nel loro
vestire, da zittire anche la più crudele
Elsa Maxwell, ascoltavano una coppia
disquisire –animatamente- di birdwatching.
Una biondona, rossetto albicocca,
se ne stava distesa a ridere in solitaria.
And in the middle of it all, tightly bound
by the coast, was this space – the Lagoon.
We noticed at the water’s edge a large
group of women, pale, emaciated and with
bloodless lips. The group, so elegantly
dressed they would have stopped even
the ruthless Elsa Maxwell in her tracks,
were listening to a couple having an
animated discussion about bird watching.
A blonde, with apricot coloured lipstick,
lay close by, laughing to herself.
