Pollica

place a poem by Alda Merini, devoted to Lampedusa. Beautiful


Once I dreamed of being a giant turtle skeleton
with ivory
dragging children and adults, and algae and waste

and flowers and all clung to me,
on my hard rind. I was a turtle

staggering under the weight of love

very slow to understand and quick to bless.
So, my children,
once you have thrown in the water
and you're clinging to my shell
and I have rescued sea turtle

because this is the land
that saves you from death
water.
