Mingle

Buio sotto le coperte, in questa fredda stanza. Immagino un corpo caldo che mi riscalda il sogno. Solo il ticchettare di una vecchia sveglia, tiene preciso il tempo... Il lungo tempo della notte. Svuoto la mia testa lentamente con le mani. Lancio idee nel vuoto, frammenti grigi, di pensieri irreali. Chiudo a chiave la stanza attorno a me. Chiudo fuori la fredda notte che... Mi tiene sveglio, sussurrando il nome tuo, che non voglio più sentire, per non doverlo più chiamare..._________________________________________________ ________________Andrea Gastaldello (aka Mingle) was born on March 22, 1973 in Castiglione delle Stiviere in the province of Mantua, Italy.
