LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA
Snow is always a feast
into this wood I would live in
I can see my footprint
over all these sacred hills
and when I feel so weak
I can come here
and I can breath
I am now entering
in the new month of February
nothing now seems complete
but I walk on to make it
and when I feel nothing
a candle I lit
for Brigit
I see the white city
in the sky of this evening
Imbolc will be rhythm
of the night
Look at the white fields
they seem to go to marry
the Land that's waiting
to give us her new gifts
try to look beneath
yourself under the greed
to rebirth
I see the white city
in the sky
of this evening
Imbolc will be rhythm
of the night

La neve è il sangue del cielo
La neve è il sangue del cielo
in attesa di rinascita
tornerà libera a scorrere
dentro le vene pulsanti
di queste valli profonde
nel ventre della montagna.

Prayers of meat
LISTEN TO - ASCOLTA
How can I fight everyday
if I am weak and little
so, teach me prayers of meat
prayers of bones
and of muscles, and of muscles
Suddenly all is changed
and I am full of shame
and I have lost my battles and I won
now I have to erase
all those days full of fame
what I am going to become I don't know
See how-much is changed my body
during this time so slowly
it is the same for the mind
though it seems of another kind
without saddles, we waddle
Suddenly all is changed
and I am full shame
and I have lost my battle and I won
now I have to erase
all those days full of fame
what I am going to become I don't know
How can I fight everyday
if I am weak and little
so, teach me prayers of meat
prayers of bones
and of muscles, and of muscles
Suddenly all is changed
and I am full of shame
and I have lost my battles and I won

and I have lost my battle and I won

It’s the beginning of a new age
In questi giorni ho visto l’alba. Un’alba dai colori caldi, inquietante in quanto perfettamente indistinguibile da un tramonto. L’inizio del giorno non è mai stato così tanto simile alla sua fine. Quasi identico: stessi colori e stesse sfumature, solo la direzione cambia. E così mi sembra non ci sia un principio e nemmeno una fine. Lo stesso evento preannuncia l’inizio della luce oppure l’inizio del buio. All’interno di questo continuo susseguirsi di resurrezioni che noi chiamiamo giorni per avere meno paura. Senza riferimenti temporali certi mi sento perso in questo momento di profondo cambiamento. “It’s the beginning of a new age”. Una nuova era si è aperta per me, ma senza alcun punto fermo su cui potere contare. I miei giorni sono bombardati dal nuovo. E di notte passo in rassegna le mie certezze che sono ormai quasi inesistenti. Sono un naufrago che cerca qualcosa a cui aggrapparsi. Un naufrago del firmamento che non riesce a vedere alcuna stella. Temo di perdere la mia ispirazione all’interno di questo mondo in subbuglio. Mi chiedo dove sia finito tutto ciò in cui credevo. Ma intanto continuo a correre verso di te. Anche se non so chi tu sia. “I’ll come running to you, baby if you want me”.

Change
Into this afternoon light
I taste the end of a life
what I'll miss, what I'll gain I don't know
what I feel in this day's sense of loss
This creeping crimson light
teaches there's always a time
during which all can change in a blow
after that we've to build a new world
And like the sun that everyday changes its day
I have to learn to do exactly the same
because every hour every day
are all made to create a new way
and I am part of all this change
May be it is the last time
from these windows I look outside
I don't need to keep records in my mind
I am become what I've lived inside
And like the sun that everyday changes its day
I have to learn to do exactly the same
because every hour every day
are all made to create a new way
and I am part of all this change

Brucia l'artemisia
Brucia l'artemisia
sul mio ventre ghiacciato:
il fumo accoglie il cambiamento
come la nebbia nasconde il cielo
sopra all'attonito camposanto.

Southernmost sunset
Very close to fireplace through the window I look outside
the southernmost sunset brings some wisdom and a new light
from today there's a flame that increases in my veins
and there is a new hope that gives warmth to my bones
I feel like my old disgrace from today can become love
in my hands I hold my shame and I put it in the cold
from today I am new, don't know why but it's true
and there are many things I have to do in these months
New wishing starts with the mistletoe
new prayers come from the little hopes
and my wood is so generous
and I feel so grateful
New wishing starts with the mistletoe
social year is going to fall
and my wood is so generous
and I feel so grateful
In this house I am allowed to call my ancestors
in these days the shadows are shorter than the days before
darkness is the prelude of the new light just born
spirits please protect my world make it pure and full of warmth
New wishing starts with the mistletoe
new prayers come from the little hopes
and my wood is so generous
and I feel so grateful
New wishing starts with the mistletoe
social year is going to fall
and my wood is so generous
and I feel so grateful

In attesa
L'alba è un fuoco tiepido
acceso sul ghiaccio sterile
i rami spogli del frassino
sono tasti di pianoforte
il pettirosso affamato
cerca briciole di speranza:
quanto ancora le gemme
resteranno in attesa?

Perielio
Cerco residui di luce estiva
tra gli accumuli di buio,
perielio* di promesse stanche
e di preghiere provvisorie.
Solo le braci in fondo al pozzo
mi consentono di respirare.
* Oggi la Terra ha raggiunto il perielio cioè il punto più vicino al Sole nel corso della sua orbita.
