may you be as light and free as the sea.

her secrets still like songs I'd never learned
L'estate ha riscaldato la finestra aperta della sua luna di miele
E lei ha scelto una terra da bruciare, ma il terreno le ricorda
Di cucchiai di legno, i suoi bambini mescolano fiori di Bougainvillea.
Ci sono cose che scivolano via come i nostri infiniti, numerati giorni.
L'autunno ha soffiato via la trapunta dal letto perfetto che lei ha fatto.
E lei ha scelso di credere negli inni che sua madre canta.
La domenica attira i bambini via dai loro mucchi di foglie cadute.
Ci sono navi che navigano e sopravvivono anche dopo che tutti i nostri corpi sono nell'erba.
La primavera chiama i figli di lei fino a che alla fine lei li lascia andare.
E ha scelto dove stare, anche se ha perso il suo anello di nozze
Da qualche parte vicino al barattolo fuori posto di semi di Bougainvillea.
Ci sono cose che non possiamo ricordare, ciechi come la notte che ci trova tutti.
L'inverno rimbocca le coperte ai suoi bambini, le sue bambole di porcellana fragile.
Ma le mie mani ricordano quelle di lei che arrotolano la felce ombreggiata,
Braccia nude, i suoi segreti ancora come canzoni che non ho mai imparato.
Ci sono nomi di là del mare, solo ora penso che
A volte, con le finestre chiuse, lei si siedera' e pensera' a me.
Ma lei ricucira' i vestiti lisi di lui e si baceranno come se sapessero
Che il bambino di lei dorme in tutte le nostre ossa, così spaventato di essere solo.
frau doktor to be
and think of you
caught up in circles confusion
is nothing new
Flashback, warm nights,
almost left behind
suitcases of memories,
time after time

like this
Have you ever dreamed a night like this?
I cannot believe it.
I may never see a night like this.
When everything you think is incomplete.
Starts happening when you are cheek to cheek.
Could you ever dream it?
I have never dreamed, dreamed a night like this.
How many times,
have I been waiting by the door to hear these chimes?
To hear that some one debonaire has just arrived.
And opened up to see my world before my eyes.
That silhouette creates an image on the night I can't forget.
It has the scent of something special, I can't rest.
If I resist temptation, oh I know for sure that I will lose the bet.
I walk away and suddenly it seems I'm not alone.
In front of me he stands -- I stop, before he goes.

Dall'Alpi a Sicilia
Fratelli...
Stringiamci a coorte,
Siam pronti alla morte.
Siam pronti alla morte,
L'Italia chiamò!
Noi siamo da secoli
Calpesti, derisi,
Perché non siam popolo,
Perché siam divisi.
Raccolgaci un'unica
Bandiera, una speme:
Di fonderci insieme
Già l'ora suonò.
Uniamoci, amiamoci,
L'unione e l'amore
Rivelano ai popoli
Le vie del Signore.
Giuriamo far libero
Il suolo natio:
Uniti, per Dio,
Chi vincer ci può?

33 anni dopo
pills
make it grow. slowly. sweetly. without me noticing it. with a smile. or a smile that I expect to come and does not.
Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Instead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me ill
You keep makin' me ill
I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

an element of fun
In ev'ry job that must be done
There is an element of fun you find the fun and snap!
The job's a game
And ev'ry task you undertake
Becomes a piece of cake
A lark! Aspree!
It's very clear to me
That a... Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way
A robin feathering his nest
Has very little time to rest
While gathering his B
Bits of twine and twig
Though quite intent in his pursuit
He has a merry tune to toot
He knows a song
Will move the job along
For a...
Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
The medicine go down-wown
The medicine go down
Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down
In a most delightful way

da apprezzare al secondo ascolto
a malinconia, tutti nell’angolo tutti che piangono,
toccano il fondo come l’andrea doria
chi lavora non tiene dimora, tutti in mutande, non quelle di borat
la gente è sola, beve poi soffoca come john bohnam
...
per pagare le spese bastava un diploma, non fare la star o l’icona
né buttarsi in politica con i curricula presi da staller ilona
goodbye malinconia
come ti sei ridotta in questo stato?
goodbye malinconia
dimmi chi ti ha ridotta in questo stato
goodbye malinconia
come ti sei ridotta in questo stato?
goodbye malinconia
dimmi chi ti ha ridotta in questo stato d’animo
we had it all, fools we let it slip away
every step was out of place
and in this world we fell from grace,
looking back we lost our way,
an innocent time we all betrayed
and in time can we all learn,
not to crawl away and burn
stand up and don’t fall down
be a king for a day,
in man we all pray

l'aver rinunciato a me stessa
...
e non ho fatto altro
che sentirmi sbagliata
ed ho cambiato tutto di me
perché non ero abbastanza

Mattie Ross: One would be just as unpleasant as the other
Friday, 4 March 2011
April 4th
I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be selfevident, that all men are created equal."
Early morning, April four
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky.
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
In the name of love
What more in the name of love.
...because the only way I think it it worth living is in the name of love. And Martin knew that.

La solitudine
you must have good legs and uncommon resistance,
you must be resistant to colds, flus or sore throats,
you should not fear robbers or murderers.
If you have to walk all afternoon, or even all night, you must do it with ease,
there is nowhere to sit
especially in winter
with the wind that pulls the wet grass,
there really is no comfort, no doubt about this,
other than the perspective of a day and a night without duty or restriction of any kind.
Sex is a pretext.
For many the encounters
are only moments of solitude.
The warmer and more alive is the body that oils with seeds and then leaves, the colder and more deadly is the beloved desert around it.
It is this desert that fills you with joy, like a miraculous wind, not the innocent smile or troubled arrogance of the one who then leaves
It carries with it an extremely young youth
and this is inhuman, because it leaves no trace, or better, only one trace that is always the same in all seasons.
A boy in his first love is nothing but the fecundity of the world.
And the world that comes with him
appears and disappears as a changing form.
All things remain intact, and you can walk half the city, you will not find it anymore,
the act was performed, its repetition is a ritual.
So loneliness is even greater if a whole crowd is waiting for its turn:
the number of disappearances increases
- to leave is to flee -
and what follows looms over as a duty, a sacrifice to be made in honor of the wish to die.
While aging, however, the fatigue starts to bite,
especially when it is just past the dinner hour, and you did not change anything,
right then you are about to scream or cry
and that would be huge, if it wasn't, as a matter of fac,t just weariness and perhaps a bit of hunger.
Huge, because it would mean that your desire for solitude could not anymore be satisfied,
and then what to expect, if that is not considered solitude is the true solitude, the one you cannot accept?
There is no lunch or dinner or satisfaction in the world
equally worth an endless walk through the poor streets,
where you must be unfortunate and strong, brother of the dogs.
bisogna essere molto forti per amare la solitudine
bisogna avere buone gambe e una resistenza fuori del comune
non si deve rischiare raffreddore, influenza o mal di gola
non si devono temere rapinatori o assassini
se tocca camminare per tutto il pomeriggio o magari per tutta la sera bisogna saperlo fare senza accorgersene
da sedersi non c’è
specie d’inverno
col vento che tira sull’erba bagnata,
non c’è proprio nessun conforto, su ciò non c’è dubbio,
oltre a quello di avere davanti tutto un giorno e una notte senza doveri o limiti di qualsiasi genere.
Il sesso è un pretesto.
Per quanti siano gli incontri
non sono che momenti della solitudine
più caldo e vivo è il corpo gentile che unge di seme e se ne va, più freddo e mortale è intorno il diletto deserto
è esso che riempie di gioia, come un vento miracoloso, non il sorriso innocente o la torbida prepotenza di chi poi se ne va
egli si porta dietro una giovinezza enormemente giovane
e in questo è disumano, perché non lascia tracce, o meglio, lascia una sola traccia che è sempre la stessa in tutte le stagioni.
Un ragazzo ai suoi primi amori altro non è che la fecondità del mondo.
E il mondo che così arriva con lui
appare e scompare, come una forma che muta.
Restano intatte tutte le cose, e tu potrai percorrere mezza città, non lo ritroverai più
l’atto è compiuto, la sua ripetizione è un rito.
Dunque la solitudine è ancora più grande se una folla intera attende il suo turno:
cresce infatti il numero delle sparizioni
- l’andarsene è fuggire -
e il seguente incombe sul presente come un dovere, un sacrificio da compiere alla voglia di morte.
Invecchiando, però, la stanchezza comincia a farsi sentire,
specie nel momento in cui è appena passata l’ora di cena, e per te non è mutato niente
allora per un soffio non urli o piangi
e ciò sarebbe enorme se non fosse appunto solo stanchezza, e forse un po’ di fame.
Enorme, perché vorrebbe dire che il tuo desiderio di solitudine non potrebbe esser più soddisfatto,
e allora cosa ti aspetta, se ciò che non è considerato solitudine è la solitudine vera, quella che non puoi accettare?
Non c’è cena o pranzo o soddisfazione del mondo,
che valga una camminata senza fine per le strade povere,
dove bisogna essere disgraziati e forti, fratelli dei cani.
Pier Paolo Pasolini
crunching
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I suffucate
And right before I'm about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
Pin 'em
So lost in the moments
When you're in 'em
It's the rage that took over
It controls you both
So they say it's best
To go your separate ways
Guess that they don't know ya
Cause today
That was yesterday
Yesterday is over
It's a different day
Sound like broken records
Playin' over
But you promised her
Next time you'll show restraint
You don't get another chance
Life is no Nintendo game
But you lied again
Now you get to watch her leave
Out the window
Guess that's why they call it window pane
Now I know we said things
Did things
That we didn't mean
And we fall back
Into the same patterns
Same routine
But your temper's just as bad
As mine is
You're the same as me
But when it comes to love
You're just as blinded
Baby please come back
It wasn't you
Baby it was me
Maybe our relationship
Isn't as crazy as it seems
Maybe that's what happens
When a tornado meets a volcano
All I know is
I love you too much
To walk away though
Come inside
Pick up your bags off the sidewalk
Don't you hear sincerity
In my voice when I talk
Told you this is my fault
Look me in the eyeball
Next time I'm pissed
I'll aim my fist
At the dry wall
Next time
There will be no next time
I apologize
Even though I know it's lies
I'm tired of the games
I just want her back
I know I'm a liar
If she ever tries to fucking leave again
I'mma tie her to the bed
And set the house on fire

On the first page of our story, the future seemed so bright.
And this thing turned out so evil, I don’t know why I’m still surprised.
Even angels have their wicked schemes and you take that to new extremes.
But you’ll always be my hero, even though you lost your mind.
Just gonna stand there and watch me burn,
But that’s alright because I like the way it hurts.
Just gonna stand there and hear me cry,
But that’s alright because I love the way you lie, I love the way you lie.
I love the way you lie.
Now there's gravel in our voices, glass is shattered from the fight.
In this tug of war, you’ll always win, even when I’m right.
Cause you feed me fables from your hand,
With violet words and empty threats and it’s sick that all these battles are what keeps me satisfied.
So maybe I’m a masochist
I try to run but I don’t wanna ever leave.
Til the walls are goin’ up in smoke with all our memories.
This morning, you wake, a sunray hits your face
smeared makeup as we lay in the wake of destruction
hush baby, speak softly, tell me I’ll be sorry that you
pushed me into the coffee table last night so I can push you off me
try and touch me so I can scream at you not to touch me
run out the room and I’ll follow you like a lost puppy
baby, without you, I’m nothing, I’m so lost, hug me
then tell me how ugly I am, but that you’ll always love me
then after that, shove me, in the aftermath of the
destructive path that we’re on, two psychopaths but we
know that no matter how many knives we put in each other’s backs
that we’ll have each other’s backs, ’cause we’re that lucky
together, we move mountains, let’s not make mountains out of molehills,
you hit me twice, yeah, but who’s countin’
I may have hit you three times, I’m startin’ to lose count
but together, we’ll live forever, we found the youth fountain
our love is crazy, we’re nuts, but I refused counselin’
this house is too huge, if you move out I’ll burn all two thousand
square feet of it to the ground, ain’t shit you can do about it
´cause with you I’m in my fuckin’ mind, without you, I’m out it

sui generis
Io non l'ho conosciuta l'epoca precedente. Sono cresciuta così e non essendo la ragazza più carina della compagnia ho imparato che se volevo qualcosa, un po' toccava anche a me 'prendermelo'. E in effetti è un gioco forse più difficile ma per questo anche più interessante.
Chissà poi perchè in amore e nelle relazioni, con cui tutti abbiamo a che fare, è forse l'unico ambito in cui non c'è un'etichetta e come comportarsi per essere equi e rispettosi non lo sappiamo mai.
