At every stone under my steps I heard a sound

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

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.

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)

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.

A Poem at Expo (somehow)

Per trovarti, mio lungo amante, devo cercarti tra le braccia di un’altra o in cima ad Archimede [A. Merini]

(Expo Milan 2015, UK Pavillion)

[Photo taken in August 2015]

To find you, my longed-lover,
I have to find you in the arms of another heart
Or on top of this mechanical hive.

She used to love me a lot

There's more to life than books, you know. But not much more. [Moz]

(I may restart from where I left...)

[...] I sat down beside her and she smiled
She said where have you been it's been awhile
She was glad to see me
I could almost read her thoughts
She used to love me a lot [...]
[J. Cash]

But I panicked as she turned to walk away

As she went out the door I heard her say

Yes I'm in need of something

Like an excuse to see this shot

But I used to love you a lot

The man who is staring at his dreams

Anniversary

It should be something amazing to have the chance to look at our own dreams.
Anytime we like, like a photo album...

Someday I stopped somewhere to stare art pieces

In European hushed museums
Will I see you?
