about

Tutto quello che senti in questo pezzo, a parte la voce e la stanza, è solo un magnete su una chitarra rotta… Un pezzo 'chitarra e voce', che si finge elettronica.

Shadow man

The immaterial being that rules relations when I go away Moved my steps lips gestures and the automaton smiled and joked While I was workin' elsewhere Wide open upon the emptiness you gave me Cold still a gesture a leave I saw the shadow man with a light behind I spoke a salvo and maybe smiled in a two by two room Two dimensional I went out discontented but bitterly obliged For the nothin' you gave me Tomorrow I'll stumble over an anonymous Wednesday In the puzzled luggage at the foot of the bed Among mites memories and in the eyes a red web Are you the winner our game of riddles? Foolin' yourself? Cold still a gesture a leave A shadow man in front and the light behind In a two by two room Outsider.
Unresolved.

uomo ombra

l'organismo immateriale che regge i rapporti quando io mi allontano mi ha mosso passi labbra gesti così l'automa ha sorriso e scherzato mentre stavo lavorando a un altro tavolo spalancato sul vuoto che mi hai dato freddo immobile un gesto un congedo ho visto l'uomo ombra con luce da dietro in una stanza di due metri per due ho parlato a salve e forse sorriso bidimensionale sono uscito inappagato eppure amaramente grato per il nulla che mi hai dato domani inciampo in un mercoledì anonimo nel bagaglio perplesso che ho ai piedi del letto tra acari lampi ricordi e negli occhi una rete indistricabile di capillari rotti

sei quello che ha vinto il nostro duello di enigmi? illuso di capirsi?
freddo immobile ungesto un congedo
davanti un uomo ombra con la luce da dietro
in una stanza di due metri per due
estraneo
irrisolto
