Stasera sei così distante
Ed io, come l’ombra, attraverso le tue mura
Ti abbraccio e ti sussurro il mio segreto:
Mi sono addormentata con un sogno divino
Per poter stare sveglia

Cremona, 2014

I wrote this poetry while living in a very poetic street named Vicolo del Cigno.

Equipment:

Anyone pulled from a source
longs to go back.
At any gathering I am there,
mingling in the laughing and grieving,
a friend to each, but few
will hear the secrets hidden
within the notes. No ears for that.
Body flowing out of spirit,
spirit up from body: no concealing
that mixing. But it’s not given us
to see the soul. The reed flute
is fire, not wind.

(Song of the Reed, Rumi)


#Kaval is an #ancient flute. Serbs from the south of #Serbia #Kosovo also call it shupelka (from the Serbian word shuple, meaning hollow). It is an end-blown flute with eight finger holes. An end-blown flute is one which has no windway or fipple on the end you blow into, but it is just a straight hollow tube. You can look right through the thing like a spyglass.
