AQUA by Massimo Dellanilla

Aqua that rains from the sky, like tears of heaven.
Aqua that gives birth to a flower on concrete.
Aqua good, which brings life.
Hostile Aqua, which sometimes destroys, bringing death, and saves those who flee.
Aqua that flows, inexorably, like time.
Aqua that has no age.
Stagnant water, fermenting water.
Aqua which has many forms, and has none.
Pure aqua, light aqua, dark aqua.
Essential aqua.
Aqua laughing, cheerfully gurgling.
Aqua complaining, sadly tedious.
Aqua that roars impetuously.
Aqua who observes and remembers and tells.
Aqua making love with the earth and with the sky.
Aqua that floods.
Aqua that quenches the thirst, really.
Aqua, that means water, in a noble ancient language.
Simply water, which the paper boat insists on plowing,
until the day that,
is overwhelmed by the wave.
Aqua, simply aqua
