There’s a thin line between what I’ve lost and what I’ve never dreamed of obtaining. In the mind, the color blind is freshly dissolved, the eager menace is a true bird who’ll conspire to none but will suddenly break the silence of those who dare to speak, with their lips well sealed. I walk. Through many shades of gray I walk and dance alone, speaking honestly to myself, waiting for nothing to detain me but the fear of not living to see it coming true.

Is it much? To wait?

Maybe.

Is it even harder to wait in silence in the hopes someone will listen to what I have to say inside of my mind? It’s a crime, yes indeed. But the demonstrations have pursued me, the readiness in which it dismisses my commands is undoubtedly absolute. I shall run free once more, walking and dancing alone. Living in my head, bathing in my heart and then finally sheltering myself from harm in your bosom.

We shall be free.


subjects in arms

I’ve got history by the balls/ It cries for help and no one hears/ Sounds it makes are inaudible/ to those with dirty, selective ears./ Fierce and witty, lucky charm/ I’ve got it roughly by the hands/ Learned to flirt with it in arms/ Learned to use it time again./ I’ve let words do all the talking/ when the eyes, they look outlying/ There’s a truth to every warning/ There’s a lie to every audacity./ There is history in my bones/ Art and music in my veins/ I got law stuck between my teeth/ and bad philosophy in my brains./ I got poetry like no one would/ I would brag, but it won’t do/ I fly high when you don’t look/ I fly high and need no fluke…


would you believe something so magical, something so pure and unreachable coming true that the sun in awe would dare to stay, just a bit longer, dying our skins with its warm glow?

an answer, that would be the answer: the sun would stand in awe, halfway down, peeking through the clouds…


just, listen

We are such spendthrifts with our lives. The trick of living is to slip on and off the planet with the least fuss you can muster. I’m not running for sainthood. I just happen to think that in life we need to be a little like the farmer, who puts back into the soil what he takes out.’


What is not here.

The quiet despair, the hopelessness. The end of a rope that does not do justice, it’s all here. All in here. The very dark secrets that seem so natural, that live and breathe like you and me, it’s all here. The sense of calm, limitation, tranquility that you insist on embracing, it’s all here.

Do you know what is not here? Me. I’ve been gone for the past years, for the last days, for the fading hour. I have been long gone and dead like a bird who got tired to scream while everyone around me stared and commented ‘oh, what a beautiful singing bird you got here’! I’ve been dead.


Mind me, I belong in quiet places. Quiet corners of crowded cafes sitting nowhere but deep into the crowded centers of the busiest cities in the planet. My world needs its silence amongst the chaotic voices and movements of a world I never planned to live in.


the way in

I walked through the drizzle that now seemed more like a cold rush of wind against my pale and absolutely virgin skin. I had not a touch of mascara to my name and my old jeans and faded black fake leather jacket seemed to give in the amount of money I had saved in my bank account. The conversation of the day before reminded me of my naive and inconstant honesty: I had mentioned the words “fucked” and “whatever” more than twice making him notice my challenging presence in a more obvious way. I was in fact a menace to my own success… at least that’s what I thought.


All seemed normal. Very normal indeed. So normal I wanted to scream. Another day of work, another day of slavery for whatever we call fuel, no, not passion but money. The good old green matter that is what drives us all.

How long can I stay in this nowhere café, ‘fore night turns into day.
I wonder why I’m so frightened of dawn. All I have and all I know is
this dream of you - Which keeps me living on.
