Archives: Signora. 2018

Ah, quanto ti ho amato quando ingenuamente e bambina ti credevo qualcuno che non eri.
Ah, quanto ti ho odiato quando violentemente e prepotentemente ti sei rivelata ciò che sei.
Nonna forse di nome, forse di fatto? La rabbia, il dolore, il tempo, i ricordi mi mischiano e confondono tutto quello che ho nella testa.
Chissà se quello che riaffiora è sentimento genuino o senso di colpa.
La vecchiaia ti ha violentata e privata di ogni tuo proposito, ti ha lasciata all'improvviso nelle mani di una famiglia, la tua, che mai ti ha conosciuto così realmente come ti conosce oggi.
97 anni esistono quando tu ed io ormai viviamo in tempi così distanti ed irreali per te?
Tu non sai dove siamo noi, ma tu sarai sempre nel mio cuore un po' incazzato, un po' disilluso, un po' stanco.

24 Pages on Fedrigoni woodstock paper. Year 2018.
