Erano grossi di stazza, eppure camminavano
con passo di velluto sulla neve lucida.
C’era una luce come brillantina, quasi blu.
Da piccoli avevano giocato insieme, erano
diventati amici, poi si erano persi di
vista, odiandosi, intorno ai vent’anni.
La Regina delle Nevi li aveva consumati e
gettati l’uno contro l’altro per sceglierne
un terzo, il marito. “Chissà se gli è stata
fedele”, dissero all’unisono. “Già, chissà
se gli è stata fedele…”, continuarono un
po’ sorpresi, seguendo le tracce di un
animale. Si girarono, si fissarono, e si
misero a ridere davanti a un tavolo color
primavera, sbucato all’improvviso.
They continued in silence, and despite
their heavy build, walked with soft velvety
steps on the shimmering snow, which
radiated a dazzling, almost blue light.
They had played together from when they
were small and had later become good
friends, then at around the age of twenty,
they had gone their separate ways, each
hating the other. The Snow Queen had used
them, playing one off against the other,
only to take off with a third one, the
husband. “Who knows if she was faithful to
him”, they suddenly said in unison. “Yes,
who knows if she was faithful to him.”
Somewhat taken aback, they continued along
the path, following some animal tracks.
Suddenly they turned to face one other,
stared at each other, and then burst out
laughing in front of a spring coloured
table that had suddenly appeared from out
of the blue.
