Everything Is Out Of Focus

These are the seas in our minds

(we make our own confine in time)

 [London, Jul 2016]

It's the blessed routine
For The Good, The Bad And The Queen
Just moving out of dreams with no physical wounds at all

[TGTB&TQ]

Let's take a break

I say no, you say yes

(and you will change your mind)

 [Trajan's Market, Oct 2016]

I left the South again

I travelled North again

I got confused - I killed a horse

You won't change the way I feel

Like a Walk on the Sea Foam

She closes her eyes and begins to fly

(Expo Milan 2015, Tunisie Pavillion)

And the child in the yard is playing
Throwing stones to the sky and in the sea
Every time that she hits a star
She closes her eyes and begins to dream

How Dare I Be So Beautiful?

We watch in reverence, as Narcissus is turned to a flower

(Expo Milan 2015, Morocco Pavillion)

I've been waiting here for so long
And all this time has passed me by
It doesn't seem to matter now 
You stand there with your fixed expression
Casting doubt on all I have to say.

 Why don't you touch me, touch me...
Now!
[From Genesis To Revelation]

At every stone under my steps I heard a sound

Green stones that mind wraps its skin in this haunt [C. Coolidge]

(Expo Milan 2015, Japan Pavillion)

The man who loves, he struggles
In a salt lake dried by the sun,
And he doesn't pray, but dance,
Silent presence that shaken,
No known music can explain us,
Because a sound is a hope,
But this man denies and clinging in vain
To a thought love. He drowns.
[Maz Gazzè]

A Song at Expo (somehow)

I've got no charm

(Expo Milan 2015, Korea Pavillion)

[Photo taken in August 2015]

Tonight I've consumed much more than I can hold,
Oh, this is very clear to you.
And you can tell I have never really loved.
You can tell, by the way, I sleep all day.
[Moz]

Half in hell, half on earth - Persephone

Just another false alarm: the doubt of the dream

("Persephone C", aka The Woman Carrot, by Luigi Serafini - Expo Milan 2015)

[Photo taken in August 2015]

In Serafini's nursery there are leaves-cloud sprinkling flowers, leaves-web catching insects. Trees uproot themselves and walk, to go to the shore where they sail flapping its roots as boat propellers.

“Memory's images, once they are fixed in words, are erased," Polo said.
"Perhaps I am afraid of losing Venice all at once, if I speak of it,
Or perhaps, speaking of other cities, I have already lost it, little by little.”

And now they walk

Hand in hand, all is planned

With the silent glimpse

I believe that only lovers share
