Sole alto sui campi

Sole alto nel cielo
luce distesa sulla terra
terra rossa
ricoperta di veli
lucidata dalla luce
spaccata dal calore
scivolosa rugiadosa
odorosa
come la buona mela
serbata per l’inverno.

The Sun is High over the Fields

The sun is high over the fields
The light stretched out over the earth
The rich red earth
Covered with veils
Burnished by the light
Split by the heat
Slippery, dewy
Scented
Like a good apple
Put in store for the winter.
