FINIS MUNDI

(THE EARTHQUAKE - FRIULI, MAY 1976)

Antonino Mazza

*

It was too sudden, a random moment.

There were bursts and the turmoil of sparks. Electric wires would first pull then snap

To fill the patient and watchful night With flying fire.

The vast sky sat silently over the steep Alps, but at the groin Of the Mediterranean thigh The earth didn’t yawn

If a fierce growl thundered Inside the ground.

A roar of chills

Began to echo through the shattering hills. It was too late

Gemona cramped. Against the unforeseen events

The houses clung

To the epileptic slopes (Ice-cold, damp) the way nightmares shrill

Children’s hearts. Then,

As if 10000 mountains simultaneously cried: JUMP! The mast of an ancient castle and the steeple

Cringed their eyes and in pieces Plunged.
