Birthday Cakes Writing

Light / Shadows

Shadows Seem To Be at the core of this collection of poems of the 6th Edition of Castello di Duino Competition, having as theme the polarity Lights/Shadows. Night is the place of the discovery of truth, lacerated in the perception of the distance between human catastrophe and fallaciousness of hiding... from " Luce/Ombre - Lights/Shadows" (Ibiskos Editrice Risolo, 2010).


Gaza

After a day
Without school
I dim the light
And on my half of the bed
A leg throws itself
On me.

And yet I know it is not enough for you
To manage and touch the other part,
The dry side
Or strip yourself of everything
And tear your arms.

Competing for a strip,
It is not enough.

Remember me this time.
Before the breath
Becomes hard

And our lips fall down.

(English translation by Othis Landi)
