The arched backs
of two black cats
quarreling on a sill
seemed to the girl
swinging on the chair
a couple of small hills.

Behind those mounds
the distant sun
was falling down to sleep.
Instead the rain
which blurred her eyes
was nothing else than weep.
solo una Tazza di Tè
[Le schiene inarcate di due gatti neri che litigavano sul davanzale, sembrarono alla ragazza che dondolava sulla sedia, una coppia di piccole colline. Dietro a quei tumuli il sole distante stava cadendo per dormire. Invece la pioggia, che offuscava i suoi occhi, era nient'altro che pianto.]

I like the metaphor of the cats being hills and the sun setting behind them. The tension in the cats brings forth a sort of tension in the poem. However, one small mistake I think you made, second stanza, second to last line instead of who, I think you mean "which blurred her eyes." Anywho, beautiful writing as always~
