Remember

Matt and I used to go to the park together,

and while sitting on the grass, I would read him Italian fables.

Now all that’s left of me is a love letter.

And a dried flower, to fill the shadow of our own memory.

Facing myself

I would sit in the garden every afternoon just facing myself,

before crashing into a million pieces.”

Il Pescatore

All’ombra dell’ultimo sole

S’era assopito un pescatore

E aveva un solco lungo il viso

Come una specie di sorriso.” Fabrizio De Andrè

In the shadow of the last sun

A fisherman had dozed off

He had a furrow across his face

Just like some kind of smile.

When The Music Stopped

Then the music stopped,

The light began to fade slowly,

And the colour became dim,

With a melancholy tenderness.”
