LEGEND by September 29th


"I can hardly recall
That I forgot
The words I wrote
On that wall
All the names
I've ever called...

The Queen told the King:
"To me, darling, you are everything".
So the King turned to the Queen
And said:
"Darling, I wish you were dead".

You are leaning on the window sill
The Moon is pale,
Looks ill.
And up there, on the barefoot hill,
The dogs are barking to the ghosts.

The Queen told the King:
"To me, darling, you are everything".
So the King turned to the Queen
And said:
"Be a King, then, in my stead".

I wish that one day
Everyone
Could say
I was born
To be a Rose
Without thorns...

The Queen told the King:
"To me, darling, you are everything".
So the King turned to the Queen
And said:
"I wish you were dead".

And the King told the Queen
"To me you are the best thing I've ever seen".
So the Queen turned to the King
And said:
"To me you are already dead".

This song is dedicated to my friend Ana.

walk on

ho smesso di riflettere. e resto muta aspettando l'abbraccio del Grande Mistero. l'ho cercato passeggiando per le strade di una città che non mi appartiene, l'ho cercato lasciando che l'acqua mi scivolasse addosso per far tacere il mio dolore. ma ho solo incontrato la rabbia dell'altro e sono rimasta annichilita. come da bambina di fronte a qualcuno che alzava la voce, a uno schiaffo che non comprendevo. non sono adatta alla vita. non ho le unghie. mi aspetto sempre comprensione, spiegazioni, amore. ma non posso cambiare. e continuerò ad aggirarmi con la mia incapacità di vivere, ascoltando l'eco lontana della voce del Grande Spirito che allieverà il mio dolore. non so vivere ma so amare. e continuerò a camminare cercando di non calpestare la formica che mi attraversa la strada.

I've stopped thinking. and i'm dumb waiting for the Great Mystery hug. I've been looking for it wandering about the streets in a city that doesn't belong to me, I've been looking for it letting water drop on me to shut my pain up. yet i've just met the other's rage and i've been annihilated. like i was annihilated as a child before someone raising their voice, a slap in the face i didn't understand. i'm not cut out for life. i don't have nails. i always expect understanding, explanations, love. but i can't change. and i'll keep on roaming with my disability to live, listening to the distant echo of the Great Mystery which will ease my pain. i don't know how to live but i know how to love. and i'll keep on walking trying not to to tread on the ant crossing my path.

HEAVY TIMES (part 1)


Politicians, no way out
Sexy boy scouts, the internet
Skillful apes, another rape
Sausages of rage
Tennis players
Orange-flavoured eternity
Heavy times.

Shop-a-holics, work-a-holics,
The Titanic, my nickname
People wearing uniforms,
Assault rifles
Popcorn-shaped unicorns
Heavy times.

Broken hearts, windows
Widows, cigarettes,
Global warming,
Global warning
We’re getting used to living
In these Heavy Times.

Exotic places, antibiotics
HIV, you & me.
Heavy times…

buoni giorni: to living in these Heavy Times. peace and love.
