Vinho<br />

Vinho<br />

While I was sinking the knife<br />

into her milky white skin I<br />

noticed that, on the table<br />

in front of me, there was a<br />

glass of wine.<br />

Instead of augmenting my anger,<br />

that object distracted me.<br />

It spoiled the setting for my<br />

revenge and nothing was like it<br />

had been before. I felt like<br />

someone was watching me.<br />

The red on the table was a<br />

presence that hung over my head.<br />

I lost concentration, my hand<br />

began to sweat and I wounded<br />

her near the ear. God, how<br />

I hate making mistakes.<br />

My revenge ruined.<br />

I wanted a clean line that opened<br />

the neck, instead I had involved<br />

the ear, and looking more<br />

carefully, also a piece of cheek.<br />

The blond of her hair had started<br />

to get dirty with red on the<br />

hairline. Now Anna looked like a<br />

half-made-up clown.<br />

In my mind it was supposed to be<br />

terrifying and bloodcurdling to<br />

remind everyone that she was just<br />

a bitch. But now it was more<br />

complex. Full of smudges. I tried<br />

to salvage the final design, fix<br />

the composition, using the knife<br />

like it was a pencil and Anna was<br />

my canvas.<br />

But maybe her blood was boiling<br />

inside, I’m not sure, because I<br />

got squirted everywhere. Rivers<br />

of Anna’s blood were coming out<br />

of my mouth. How disgusting. I<br />

left. I don’t like to leave my<br />

work undone, but at this point it<br />

was all ruined. As I left I took<br />

that glass from the table. I took<br />

a long sip to get the taste of<br />

blood out of my mouth.<br />

Blood or wine, it’s the same<br />

thing for me.<br />

Mentre affondavo il coltello<br />

sulla sua pelle bianca candida mi<br />

sono accorto che, sul tavolo<br />

davanti a me, c’era un bicchiere<br />

di vino.<br />

Anziché accrescere la mia rabbia,<br />

quell’oggetto mi ha distratto.<br />

Ha rovinato il quadro della mia<br />

vendetta e niente è stato più<br />

come prima. Mi pareva che<br />

qualcuno mi stesse osservando. Il<br />

rosso sul tavolo era una presenza<br />

che pendeva sulla mia testa. Ho<br />

perso la concentrazione, la mano<br />

ha iniziato a sudarmi e l’ho<br />

ferita vicino all’orecchio. Dio<br />

come odio sbagliare. La mia<br />

vendetta rovinata. Volevo una<br />

linea pulita che le aprisse il<br />

collo invece ho coinvolto<br />

l’orecchio, adesso che vedo bene<br />

anche un pezzo di guancia.<br />

Il biondo dei capelli ha iniziato<br />

a sporcarsi di rosso sull’<br />

attaccatura. Adesso Anna sembrava<br />

un clown con il trucco a metà.<br />

Nella mia testa doveva essere<br />

terrificante e agghiacciante per<br />

ricordare a tutti che era una<br />

semplice stronza. Invece adesso<br />

la cosa si faceva complessa.<br />

Ricca di sbavature. Ho cercato di<br />

rimediare il disegno finale,<br />

migliorare la composizione,<br />

usando il coltello come fosse una<br />

matita e Anna la mia tela. Ma<br />

forse aveva il sangue che le<br />

ribolliva dentro, non so, perché<br />

mi sono schizzato dappertutto.<br />

Rivoli di sangue di Anna mi<br />

uscivano dalla bocca. Che schifo.<br />

Me ne sono andato. Non mi piace<br />

lasciare i lavori a metà, ma<br />

ormai si era rovinato tutto.<br />

Uscendo ho preso il bicchiere dal<br />

tavolo. Ho bevuto una lunga<br />

sorsata anche per sciacquarmi<br />

dalla bocca il gusto del sangue.<br />

Sangue o vino per me è lo stesso.<br />
