What is Pasolini saying on Meditazione Orale?

I wanted to know what Pier Pasolini was saying on Meditazione Orale , the last track on the cd Compilation Morricone/Pasolini Film Music (GDM Music 2046). Where is this reading from? What is he saying? What ever it is, Morricone's score to this track makes it sound weird & chilling. This track also shows up on the last track of the Uccellacci E Uccellini Soundtrack (RCA OST 130).
I don't speak italian, but I would like to know what Pasolini is saying, and where this reading comes from. Can anyone help?
Thanks.

I dont have the CD yet but I soon will, when I get it I will gladly transcrive and tanslate it for you, no problem. As far as I knw thats part of a text Pasolini himself penned. The guy wrote lots of prose.

I own both cd's, and let me be the first to say that the GDM Music compilation is very good. The remastering is top notch.My only complant is that it's too short. GDM Music could have added more tracks, but what the heck. Maybe GDM will issue a Vol. 2 on cd sometime soon.

The music from the track 17: "Meditazione Orale" (RCA OST 130) belongs to "Requiem per un destino", from the film: UN UOMO A METÀ (RCA OST 136). A fragment from "Requiem per un destino" was used afterward like background music for Pasolini's text.
