Take exemple

 

 LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There's the sun in the sky 

it is springtime 

though there's a frozen white 

I guess it's the time 

of rebirth and I hope 

that I can now take exemple 

from the nature I know 

that I have to take exemple 

 

Then this dazzling light 

hit my hazel eyes 

I forget for a while 

that I'm in a strife 

which inexorably 

puts me into a bad tangle 

and there is no worship 

able to make it untangled 

 

So it's time to say 

that I have lost my way 

and nothing can sate 

my soul and my brain 

 

As she said to me 

I hope my shuttered dreams 

in tides can disappear 

and let me free 

 

There's a heap of despair 

into my head 

all the efforts I take 

seem feckless 

the nights are boundaries 

between the death and the life 

and I have to believe 

in something I cannot see 

 

So it's time to say that 

I have lost my way 

and nothing can sate 

my soul and my brain 

 

As she said to me 

I hope my shuttered dreams 

in tides can disappear 

and let me free

Carne stridula

 

Perso distratto 

lungo le vie dense 

città che confonde 

promette chimere 

futuri agognati 

menzogne di sangue 

carne stridula 

incapace di reggere 

l'entropia assoluta

La storia

 

La storia è soltanto 

i tuoi capelli intrecciati 

gli esagoni imperfetti 

 dell'epidermide 

le pietre aguzze 

sotto i nostri piedi 

il silenzio delle campane 

il Sabato Santo

As Mars sauntered through his door *

 

Dopo la pioggia

le facce specchio

dei passanti 

riflettono nuvole

di emozioni nude

come stracci inzuppati

sull'asfalto. 

(Non serve chiudere 

le finestre occhi

quando Marte varca

la nostra porta più sacra)

* "Mentre Marte varcava la sua porta" ("Goodbye Pisces", Tori Amos)

Per non perdermi

    

 Primavera di est gelido 

 e di tepore ad ovest 

 il mio viso sul vetro 

 cappuccio grigio 

 oltre la candela 

 mi aggrappo al sacro 

 per non perdermi.

Even if it is not my home

 

LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Even if it is not my home 

I live here and I’m not alone 

And while the time is going on 

it’s recklessness or may be love 

since I know this place 

and it is not a shame 

 

I know it seems sometimes so wrong 

or only a kind of sloth 

sometime it’s easy to gear to all 

in order to not to lose the soul 

and then you understand 

everything can have sense 

 

I hadn’t dreamt a life like 

this running into the winter breeze 

among the strangers but with the 

awareness of what I need 

 

Have I forgotten childhood for a reason? 

To try to think that I’m out of my prison? 

 

I’ve got still crusts over my knees 

and I’ve my hands soiled of peat 

the child inside already killed 

so many times but I still bleed 

 

Have I forgotten childhood for a reason 

To try to think that I’m out of my prison? 

 

Someone said that things always come 

in the right moment to herald 

that you can wait and do not dart 

the lesson isn’t yet in your heart 

I let the debris far 

here I can still build up 

 

I hadn’t dreamt a life like this 

running into the winter breeze 

among the strangers but with the 

awareness of what I need 

 

Have I forgotten childhood for a reason? 

To try to think that I’m out of my prison? 

 

I’ve got still crusts over my knees 

and I’ve my hands soiled of peat 

the child inside already killed 

so many times but I still bleed 

 

Have I forgotten childhood for a reason? 

To try to think that I’m out of my prison?

Ritagli

 

 La vita è un pomeriggio

 di maledetto inverno

 con i rami del frassino

 che ritagliano il cielo

 frammenti di bianco 

 e di azzurro serico 

 dalla finestra osservo

 sul mio corpo disteso
