A letter to Colomba

Dear Colomba, I have come back to that border where the boats arrive and this time they are heavy and inflated, not light as i wrote you some time ago. What souls are they carrying? Why so many in such a short time? Todos lod dìas se matan en Nueva York… dos mil palomas para el gusto del los... Sign in to see full entry.

A letter to Colomba

Dear Colomba, la estrellas no tienen novio. This verse of mine came to my mind today, i don’t know why. And if shouldn’t it be true? What does it mean, by the way? Stars have no spouses… and if we, i mean ourselves, were their spouses… imagine that you, from where you live, are seeing a procession... Sign in to see full entry.

A letter to Colomba

Dear Coloba, it a day of arrivals today; or better, i have gone very close to the threshold, where silently arrive the boats with their load of lives passed on. I was shocked by their nocturnal silence. They do not plough the waters, but seem to fly over it, light, as if they were built of the same... Sign in to see full entry.

A letter to Colomba

Dear Colomba, today a newcomer explained why is ti so easy for us to outiline anlogies between what we see and the landscapes that hit our eyes when we were alive. We do not die once, but degrade towards death; hence what our eyes saw, comes back to us for the last time before desappearing... Sign in to see full entry.

A letter to Colomba

Just come back friends! Harpo47 Dear Colomba, i have come back home… do not laugh, i beg you. We, too, have a home, the infinite does not exist even here where we are.

A letter to Colomba

Dear Colomba, today is a flat desert, nocturnal but just a bit enlighted by a veiled moon. On your side you would say that it is the summer heat to dress of halos the sky. Here where we are it is a condition that looks like an interlude, maybe the true essence of our being. In this case, it seems to... Sign in to see full entry.
