Erri De Luca after Genoa

The police protest: those videos
they are assembled backwards,
to put them in the correct order
you can see the heads, the bodies, the limbs
hit the truncheons violently
From the bottom to the top
and the blood that had already been shed before
to return to his place in the communist.
You can also see a skull hanging from the ground
he dives headlong into football
of the official caught off guard.
The other way around by Erri De Luca
