To Aliena

A year has passed of our acquaintance,
sister in a destiny of alienation
in a foreign country of no mercy
nor of understanding of a warm mentality,
a country frozen stiff each winter
for five months with every human soul;
but still we carry on intrepidly
and holding forth our light of warmth,
humanity and joy of life,
Italian style, with no end to good humour,
tenderness, positivism and cheerfulness.
We share together the same birthday almost
with some hours' difference only,
which turn us astrologically into twins;
and may we always keep that cheerful course
of parallel good thinking, creativity and love
and joy of life with only the best wishes to all living things,
that they may prosper with ourselves.
