My Transsylvania from the sky

where I come from my dear traveler

 

it’s the stage

 

of a vineyard form of amphitheater

 

dug by my father among the others when

 

he was still

 

in his vital states of mind

 

when he was drunkenly adorable

 

 

 

beyond mountains and forests

 

beyond those noctambulist draculities

 

and argues on the nationality

 

of dear mother of God

 

 

where I come from there are people not landscapes

 

of plastic with mannequins

 

nor freaky castles with touristic news

 

it’s me and you and all who still believe

 

in that dubious rest of humanity

 

 

 

where I come from the single life insurance

 

that makes us true is the bread

 

and the salt of the land

 

it’s everything that keeps us free

 

and madly together

 

 

 

from there I mounted on my eyes

 

a kind of wasting

 

and alcohol of vanity

 

because the vineyard is gone for good

 

and above all even above my dad

 

the forest is growing high

 

thus my joy is a kind of dream on the edge

 

kind of resentment

 

and tears swallowed again and again

 

by the rage
