Sickness - Voice over for video opera

translated by Pascale Giorgi


I wasn’t feeling like I belong to the big picture of the world

Everything

As soon as I touched it,

was stained

and ruined forever.


I couldn’t find any comfort in mankind

I saw no truth in other people's smiles

and neither in mine


They were funeral masks,

Monuments to fear.

looking at them

I wonder if they didn’t think that

in a moment

they would disappear

Like others before them

Like everyone.


I would have given to anybody my free will

so long as he would take me off

that sensation


I wonder to get sick

and no longer have to fight


Something invisible was preventing me from happiness


God should have made a mistake with me

He must had forgotten a piece


I would like to be chained

Or among nuns in a monastery

Safe from mistakes and from world’s falsehood

The necessary fiction to live was intolerable


I desired to be a plant, any kind of plant


Still, with no defense


I would have swiped with flowers

that cannot escape from being caught


that are intended to die on a whim


I went far from anything

but it wasn’t enough


And at that time I found you

It was the time to completely abandon me

I let you come inside me


And let you deprive me not only of the shell that I became

but that you ate my past

till leaving me

out of the time and of the space


With no more right

to have borders



I let the abyss to bring me away

Like dirty water


I wanted to take off from me the weight\burden of filling me with anything

And I became a monster


Made of white and fragile bones


A dust residue


at the bottom of a deep pit


With no way out





whith English subtitles
