La caduta, Ritorna al futuro
Only now, that I fall from the clouds, I understand the real meaning of my life. It isn’t just a shape, but it is a shape of life, alive, this fall. I’m a comet, a message, an epiphany that won’t ever be recorded in any storybooks. A fall from...
Prendi in mano il passato con un guanto

La città
Una città a misura di mostro La città non era poi così grande, se non si contavano le decine di palazzoni, riempiti di nulla. Bolle speculative, mostri edilizi, metafore e similitudini di un mondo in apnea. Perfino in questo respiro trattenuto, comunque, si trovava qualcuno pronto a parlare, a...
