Letter

 


Mario Fallani, 'Lettere' (1959)

[Letter]

 

“viewing mario fallani no. 4”

 

you might not

be thinking of me

but I am thinking of you

 

all the time -

all the time? as it were

the letters I make take shape

 

the crush of artistry

no less than each moment

spelt out in close chosen form

 

done redone overdone undone

sounds that resound

lines to underline embrace

 

my immediate

and your immediate embrace

here is some script thus done

 

the flurry of synapses

within this mystery mess of music

this belief in transmission

 

and the postal service

this world of paragraphs laughs

and you at reception

 

all the time thinking, respond

in landscape, self-portrait

the breeze in a still life

 

and behind exuberant sign offs

is a timed touch of courtesy

and names ageing well
