– OFF – Estratto #03 / Excerpt #03 – [It/En] – A19 – Anna "Annina" Lorenzi

[IT] – oɹǝɯnu 8 – :

– Troppo vicino
Al nucleo,

Il suo calore
Bruciò le ali.

Troppo vicino
All’animo,

Il demone
Si risvegliò.

Qualcuno sputò
Sangue.

Qualcuno finse
Una mano tesa.

Qualcuno un giorno,
Semplicemente,

Se ne andò.

Tornò pallido il sole,
Ammutolito il cuore

E, di quel volo,
Rimase soltanto

Cenere. –

Da “- OFF – (Danzando ai Margini del Lato Oscuro)”
– Qualcuno Le Chiama Poesie – di Anna “Annina” Lorenzi – #DiGetto – #OFF

[EN] – ɹǝqɯnu 8 – :

– Too close
To the nucleus,

Its heat
Burned wings.

Too close
To the soul,

The demon
Woke back up.

Someone spit
Blood.

Someone feigned
A proffered hand.

Someone one day,
Simply,

Left.

The sun again paled,
The heart silenced

And, of that flight,
There remained only

Ashes. –
