by Massimo Cacciari (b. 1944)

Das Große Nichts der Tiere
Language: Multiple Languages 
Suona profondo l’Aperto
negli occhi dell’Animale
Il grande Nulla dell’Animale
libero da Morte
e i Fiori
unendlich
ne sono lo Specchio
Questo si chiama Destino
Essere sempre di fronte
e null’altro –
Stare di fronte –
Dove vediamo futuro
Egli vede il Tutto
e se stesso nel tutto
e se stesso salvo per sempre
nel Tutto
Egli
fast tödliche Vögel der Seele
