Matilde Odiava I Gatti - Carmen Consoli

Trovava di pessimo gusto

gli eccentrici culturisti dal fiato corto,

le bambole di porcellana adagiate sul letto

tra pizzi e merletti.

Trovava di pessimo gusto

le smanie dЂ™onnipotenza,

quei cani grotteschi in ceramica esposti nellЂ™atrio,

lЂ™indiscrezione, sproloqui gratuiti.

Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,

Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,

le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.

Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.

Trovava di pessimo gusto

la pornografia occidentale,

il rigore similcattolico,

labbra siliconate ipertrofiche.

Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,

Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,

le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.

Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.

Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,

Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani.

Matilde odiava il tanfo dЂ™urina,

tipico dei gatti in calore.

Un giorno prese la pistola

dal cassetto e sparІ.

Ne colp¬ uno grigio e lo vide

cadere a terra esanime.

Ma pose fine al proprio dramma

soltanto nel momento in cui

premette il grilletto contro se stessa.

Margherite bianche tra i capelli neri,

Matilde odiava i gatti, gli arrampicatori sociali,

le cravatte verdi, le spiagge affollate.

Matilde odiava i gatti, parenti, vicini e lontani

He found it in bad taste

the eccentric bodybuilders with shortness of breath,

the porcelain dolls lying on the bed

between lace and lace.

She found it in bad taste

the cravings for omnipotence,

those grotesque ceramic dogs displayed in the atrium,

the indiscretion, free rants.

White daisies in black hair,

Matilde hated cats, social climbers,

the green ties, the crowded beaches.

Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.

She found it in bad taste

western pornography,

the catholic-like rigor,

hypertrophic silicone lips.

White daisies in black hair,

Matilde hated cats, social climbers,

the green ties, the crowded beaches.

Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.

White daisies in black hair,

Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far.

Matilde hated the stench of urine,

typical of cats in heat.

She one day she took the gun

from the drawer and disappeared.

She hit a gray one and she saw it

fall to the ground lifeless.

But she put an end to her own drama

only in the moment in which

she pulled the trigger against herself.

White daisies in black hair,

Matilde hated cats, social climbers,

the green ties, the crowded beaches.

Matilde hated cats, relatives, near and far
