The run.
Trafelati, ansiosi, agguerriti, terrorizzati. Una folla scalmanata di richiedenti un posto, il posto. Io in mezzo. E non vorrei esserci. Dovrei sgomitare, scalciare, spingere per conquistarmene uno anch'io. Ma io non lo voglio. Non l'ho mai voluto. La normalità, quella a cui ambiscono tutti, o quasi, io non la cerco. E quando c'era io la sfuggivo. Li vedevo i limiti, li vedevo benissimo, ma sognavo di scavalcarli. E di passare oltre. E in questa eterna fuga, ogni tanto, solo ogni tanto, ti sembra di riconoscere qualcuno diverso, come te, ma poi sul serio? O è solo il desiderio di immaginarlo diverso? Si uniscono, si accoppiano, si moltiplicano. Ma sono solo sovrapposti: uno sull'altro, per scalare la cima, per arrivare più in alto, più lavoro, più denaro, più bellezza, più potere, più ricchezza, più fama, più successo. Io li guardo. Prima è un nodo. Amarezza. Delusione. Poi è nausea. Manca l'aria. Mi piego, mi abbasso. Non sgomiterò, non scalcerò, non spingerò. Rimango giù, mi faccio largo tanto quanto basta. Per venirne fuori. Non sono normale. Non ho mai voluto esserlo. Non lo sarò. Libera. Ciò che voglio essere. Se si può esserlo. Non lo so.
Breathless, eager, aggressive, scared. A lynch mob demanding somewhere, the seat. I am in the middle and hate to be there. I'd to elbow, to kick, to push, to capture one, me too. But I don't want it. I never wanted it. Normalcy is what they seek, but I don't look for it either. And when it was I run away from it. I could see this limitation, I see very well, and I dreamed of jumping over them. I dreamed of crossing over. In this eternal flight, sometimes you seem to recognize someone who's different from other people, who like you. But then is this really true? Or is it just my imagination? They come together, they mate, they breed. But it's just overlapping: living on top of each other to climb the top, to soar higher than anyone… more work, more money, more beauty, more power, more richness, more success, more fame. I look to them. At first I feel this knot: bitter, disappointment. Then they make me sick, i can't breathe, I bend over, I will not push, I will not kick, I will not elbow. I make my way just enough to get out. I'm not normal. I never wanted to be normal. I won't be. Free, that's what I want to be. If you can. I don't know.

questions
In my confused dreams, for some time, there is a broken mirror. And in mirror my reflection. Broken it too. Humiliated, tired, disappointed, scarred. I was right, instinctive, kind, direct. More than usual. But in the wrong way. How do you correct the shot? How do you know when you are with the kind person that repays your kindness? Someone would answer: Doing good without expecting anything in return. Totally Free. I answer too. Fuck you. When are you going to stop being humiliated? Now I get the pieces, and put them back together. Perhaps I can.

Beyond
When I saw this film months ago it had the same effect as seeing Victoria years ago: the feeling of perfect wonderment which the simple story, but not an easy one to tell, was able to inspire in us. Every person has a story to be offered, studded with strong and painful experiences, daily difficulties and obstacles, in total uncertainty.
Last year I had a very few flawless conception. In my country, and also outside it, appearances win over reality. I confirmed it: selfishness, weakness, falseness, shallowness, easy shortcuts are widespread. In a year nothing has changed. Indeed it increased. Violence, suffering, will for power over people and things, cruelty and many other evil situations have become a normality.
The events of the past year have made me more suspicious and more sensitive to the issue. I've changed in the last few years. Me and my take on the stuff of life came out strengthened, reinforced… While outside there are winter storms and snow, you may relax in the pleasant atmosphere of our small sauna paradise. I'm heading out.
Beyond is cold, freezing, but is solid, harmonious and the finish is consistent, varied and very deep. Is confirmed that Noomi Rapace is one of my favourite actresses. It's so difficult to understand to fund the reality that's hidden behind the appearance of the look. I know this. On my skin. Against my skin. And beyond.

Non è il nero il colore del lutto. Il nero è uno dei miei colori preferiti, insieme al viola, al rosso, al verde del mare, o a quello delle chiome degli ulivi, al blu dell'imbrunire. No, il colore del lutto non esiste. Ché non esiste una tonalità che possa tingere quel vuoto, riempire la mancanza, coprire il senso di impotenza e sfumare la rabbia. Ché non sono tutti uguali, anzi, in mezzo a tanti ce n'è sempre qualcuno un po' più particolare, strano, speciale, eccessivo, irrazionale come te. Ti ci ritrovi, ci stai bene, sempre. E non vorresti lasciarlo andar via, anche fosse per poco, anche se sai che lo rivedrai, non subito, ma il più presto possibile. Quando te lo portano via per sempre ti s'apre un buco che non è rimarginabile, te lo porti addosso, sembra ricucito insieme al dolore sopito e poi, invece, un giorno, ricompare, ti scoppia dentro, al livello dello stomaco e si propaga più su a pulsare sulle tempie. Non è come dite voi, il tempo non cura, anzi. Ché più tempo trascorre e più ti rendi conto. Quella persona era irripetibile. Per me e per l'uomo che era l'amore della sua vita e al quale non ho saputo dire nulla che potesse confortarlo, se non la verità, che sia lui che io una così possiamo solo sognarla. Ecco, il lutto ha il colore del sogno: fosse bello o cattivo lo ricordo poco, a tratti, o per nulla. Ti svegli. Ma non c'è più. Cenere.
Black is not the color of the mourning. Black is one of my preferred colors, as purple, red, green of sea, deep green of woods, silver green of ulive trees, blue at dusk. The color of mourning does not exist. Because there is no pitch that can dye the void, fill the lack, cover the sense of powerlessness, blur the anger. People are not all the same: among too many there is someone in particular, weird, interesting, special, irrational, excessive. As you. You're getting along with her. You never want to leave, although it was for a short period of time, even if you know you'll see her again, as soon as possible. When she leaves forever a wound opens up, a wound that will not heal, you carry it on yourself, it's as good as stitched and the sadness that subsides, but one day shows up, burst and spreads. Time is not the healer, as you said. More time passes and I realize that person was unique. The only one for me and for her partner, the love of her life, one to whom I couldn't say anything but the truth: we can just dream about her. So, the mourning is just like a dream: I'm not sure if it was good or bad, I remember little, at times, for nothing. I wake up and it's gone. Ash-colored.

He's tearing me apart.
The watchword is overlapping, mixing shapes, faces, eyes, hands, fingers, mouths, tongues, pictures of him, pictures of other men. But when I bring the different images together… a harrowing wind stirs up huge dust clouds, which not only make it difficult to see anything, but if I push too hard, it pushes back.
How do you bust the clouds?
I'm in a higher state of consciousness. You better hide behind the clouds. And behind you I can see millions of people. I'm able to perceive this overlay. It's only overlap, it's only duplication. Overlap and bubbles. A large bed, in the corner. A broken bed, in my imagination.
And it's tearing me apart. Again.

It's just people pretending to appreciate my way of being, my way I feel about all of this, my wolf spirit, but clearly there can be no a free, independent woman. There are lines that can't be crossed. There are limits to what I can do and the wishes I can grant.
And there's nothing worse. I' d just like to be forward, because that's what I am, and it's nothin'to be ashamed of, but I can't. Meanwhile the search continues. I'm smelling. For any signs. Because the more I smell, the more I know it's got something to do with all this.
There will be someone to be spontaneous, I will find somebody I could be honest with, someone I could be myself with, someone to be kind and cared for. Do I feel him? Can I see him? I will find you. I will hear you coming.
I can feel you. Through my hair as tangled branches, the eyes on the grass, the light was falling on the dark floor of the woods and joined my shadow that lay in wait. Muzzle up, I stiff the air. The giant female wolf smelling… savoring the scent of the meal to come.
She loosen her lips and growl.
You go, silently slip inside.

All thoughts fly
giovedì 2 luglio 2020
The sound of the letter itself.
Ai begut a l'amor.
A l'ombra de ta soca
Ai colcat un totjorn.
S'èri poèta e se m'aimaves
Aital seriá nòstra cançon.
Mas siás de fusta dins mos braces
E trauca, trauca lo cusson.
Al flume de ton pèl
Ai negat ma rason.
Ai daissat lo tropèl
Per seguir ta sason.
E puèi me soi penjat
Al negre de tos uèlhs.
La sason a cambiat
Per un autre solelh.
Las raras de ton còs
M'an donat un país.
La jòia de mon sòrt
Me trapa mai que ric.
D'autras causas encara
Me viran l'esperit.
Mas çò que ne son ara
Aquò es pas escrit.

W a n d e r i n g / E r r i n g
She believes in the air charged with electricity and lightning flashed through the sky, in the continuous siege to nerves, in the soul that enters the soul. She knows that it sounds hard: you can shape your dreams, giving life to extraordinary experiences… If you can't then you just walk on by.
Has to wander forever between the winds. She doesn't ask much of life. She wants nothing more than a little bit of adventure from time to time. Each century, she would have to stop and recharge. Bent almost to the ground as in an elegant bow to a regal and pristine nature that asks for nothing more than to be respected. And loved. Before or after she must leave again. Without her.

The trees of the mind are black.
The trees of the mind are black. The light is blue.
The grasses unload their griefs on my feet as if i were God,
Prickling my ankles and murmuring of their humility.
Fumy, spiritous mists inhabit this place
Separated from my house by a row of headstones.
I simply cannot see where there is to get to.
The moon is no door. It is a face in its own right,
White as a knuckle and terribly upset.
It drags the sea after it like a dark crime; it is quiet
With the O-gape of complete despair. I live here.
Twice on Sunday, the bells startle the sky -
Eight great tongues affirming the Resurrection.
At the end, they soberly bong out their names.
The yew tree points up. It has a Gothic shape.
The eyes lift after it and find the moon.
The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls. - Sylvia Plath. The Disquieting Muses.

You're a sight.
Magic intercourse, boiling, jointed and unfamiliar lovemaking, miracle so much awaited, unexpected masterpiece. This story is repeated endless times. For as long as they wish…
Right. They could still change their mind. One of them just suddenly needs to close.

Come nell'album dei Black Widow.
Che ho sempre associato ai dipinti di Hieronymus Bosch.
Nei quali avrei fatto volentieri una capatina.
Con chi?
Con nessuno. C'è già tanta gente lì. And not just…
Mi farei accompagnare dal gatto Astaroth.

I'm the one.
. 45;
. 120 circa.
Due numeri. Due punti fermi. Periodi. Archi. Tempo. In cui ho vissuto esperienze, ho colto possibilità, ne ho sprecate altre. Ho conosciuto. Me e altri. In precario equilibrio tra quello che volevo io e quello che pretendevano altri.
Un disegno a volte confuso, spesso preciso, un tratto precario e segni di gomma frequenti. Un percorso fatto di deviazioni, bivi, sterrati, scoscesi, lisci; rilassata, in salita, scomodissima, in rapida discesa, anima errante in intrecci sudaticci o sublimi esplosioni libidinose.
Due tumori. Due mali superati. Due impegni evitati. Almeno così sembrerebbe. Li ho raggirati. E intanto ho continuato a godere con una naturalezza disarmante. È la mia schizofrenia stilistica: ruvida e dolcissima, curve e spigoli, gemiti licenziosi e fragorose risate stregonesche.
Due cifre.
Un racconto.
Ritorniamo a loro: 45 e 120 circa. Uno è l'età. L'altro è approssimativo, ma perché ho gusti difficili.
