you sit and look towards the sky for nothing. the rain can wash your cheeks but your soul stays the same. impure. tainted. and all you can do is continue like this; with a clean pinkish face dragging your soul by the hair. and you smile because you don't know. hey you! naive! the rain doesn't heal!

stop crying my little baby time will pass and you'll grow. no more diapers no more baby food and you will finally have a sister to love to argue with or even to steal stuff from time will pass and i'll grow no more baby no more responsibility and i will finally be a sister to love to argue with or even to steal stuff from how long will you need me? how long will i need you? as long as there's stars on the sky as long as there will be water flowing in that river how freaking cheesy you'll read these and will laugh how much can you sugarcoat everything, you'd say come on, now go to sleep it is late i love you.

maternal time
will my body be able to home a human being? will my body grow like this? will my feelings grow when i'll feel that? i was never attached to you through any cord but when i look at my arms, my hands, i see you. i see a tiny little purple bunch of cuteness i first said "are you sure he's ours?" but then i held you and i knew. you're mine. and i swore. i will protect you from it all. these hands these arms have held you have hugged you have caressed you have bled for you when i got carried away cutting those potatoes while cooking for you have caught you when you fell have pushed you. away now. my body is empty. no one to caress no one to hold not like that.

my mothering arms
when you think you know... when you think that all is as you know it as you'd like it there's something that happens then: someone pulls your hand and shows you that life and the world around you is different than you thought. that the grass' green is stronger that the birds' flight is more beautiful than you could see it and there's nothing left for you to do than... believe. "believe and you shall see. believe! if you believe, you will see the flight and the sun's light and the sky's blues... search without a fear, without a care and with no doubt. you won't find the answer in an instant, but it will come to you. maybe only after 20 years in Tibet, but it will surely come to you."

02:47. I am sitting on a bench, alone. I wait... The Stranger sees me, sighs and wheezes: "You're longing too?" I gasp. He drifts past me and stops: "How do I get rid of it? I am not well..." he cries, voice cracking. I say nothing. But in my eyes, he reads the answer - my cries my yearning. The yearnings... "I should go sleep, right?" I smile. "But... does it go away?" "Not necessarily." I say. "But after a while, you get used to it. It's like a friend new in town - you take them out for long walks." "You're longing too, right?" I sigh again. We look at each other for a few seconds in silence. Then my phone rings. "Tell him that too! You might be surprised. I'll go now. Go on - answer! Good night!" I manage to throw a "Take care of your longing!" and I answer the phone. It wasn't him.

i've only one longing...
he was always a mystery to me. no matter how much i thought i could observe him from afar. i know his style his gestures the way he lights up a cigarette how he argues how he jokes around i know the dimple in the corner of his mouth that appears when he smiles. i never had the courage to even hope of being next to him. it's strange to work with someone you admire in a way you don't even understand. cause it was not a "fell in love" type of feeling, but more like a weird chemical reaction that was happening within me. and last night i thought i was discovering him. that i will get to discover him. but he only left me with more mystery. with every thing he showed me everything he revealed to me: the affection the caress the kisses even that birthmark, the more mysterious he would get. today i discovered how much he wants to be a father how much he wants someone how sensitive he is. and i know i should not be sad thinking now, alone, about what happened but i should be happy that the moment existed. that for a few instants, in the intimacy that we built together he was mine only, he gave himself to me entirely and let a few masks fall. "Coffee, yes?" well... and now i ask you, stay! but i'll pour another glass of waiting. this bar is never closing.

morning coffee or how i act again like an idiot
june. a year. it's been a year since i have been a totally different person. and i don't know if i should thank you or hate you for turning me into this person that can't love anymore. this person that can't feel anymore. this person that doesn't care anymore. everything is flat and colourless. everything is 1D now and i miss those moments when i felt everything so strongly that i wanted to smash my head against the walls. i feel that now, but out of frustration that nothing wakes up in me. nothing good. only tar, mud and slimey walls. i look in the mirror and all i can see is a pale, skinny, vacant face. and i pull myself to be like before. before you. but she is so foreign from me that i don't know how to get to her. how to rediscover her. and like this i drag myself from one day to the other hoping that tomorrow it will be better. closed in a dark soundproof room which i can't escape. and you... you think i'm hopping around picking flowers...

home is where it wasn’t home. home. it felt more like a place but felt like home when leaving. home is my brother and his blue eyes. home is can you make me breakfast and watch TV with me? home is the hot soup grandma makes. home is Janis Joplin singing. home is where birds are chirping dancing. home is that door never closing. home. is that door open anymore? home is Venus… and my cosmos. home is red and red was home. home is where it wasn’t home. home is where i wish was home. home? where is home anymore?

red lights
and life has changed... and coffee got cold and i had no words to explain. to you. to myself. and i was asking you: let me be, please. and then i was searching for you in hope that i could hold you in my arms for a bit more 'cause you had me in your palms anyway. and you kept telling me to fight. what a stupid cliché. and i, as the naive that i was i listened. and you, as the lunatic you were, you were the force i was fighting with. what should i understand, then? i have no air

years have passed
let me i want to be me and you so stay the heck here and stop making me be afraid that with every day that goes you go as well. i only want to trace itineraries on your forehead and lose my dreams in your arms and exhale wishes on the steamy window of your car and cry green tears tasting of gin and tonic which you will hold in the palms of your hands and when you have no more room you will hide them in jars in the room at the back where there's always cold because the heater doesn't work i can't be like this if you are not here and my cheeks tremble only when i feel your presence in the room if you need the certainty that i will be here when you come back well then, just so you know, i will be waiting everyday at our place especially at 9.36am and i will think about how lovely would have been for you to kiss me then but i will smile because you were so happy that you didn't know what to do stay here don't make me ask you again
