Sleep Dose

Mercoledì 23 settembre, Sleep Dose #179 (Elegia per coloro a cui è stato rubato il tempo).

Dove vanno tutte le scene, i fatti che abbiamo vissuto nelle nostre vite? Le esperienze giovanili colano via; arriva un giorno in cui agisci meno e ti fai più introspettivo, ma tutte quelle scene, che in qualche modo ti definiscono come connotati invisibili, da qualche parte continuano ad esistere, tessute insieme nel ricordo come nell’assenza.
La fede nel nostro io, in questo bolo fatto di una pasta rimasticata e sputata fuori innumerevoli volte, questo guerriero di strada nel quale ti sei identificato per molto tempo, ha un’inesauribile sete di giustizia. E quando il tempo si interrompe, quando irrompe la violenza e ci porta via tutto in un flebile istante, allora si fatica a credere nella giustizia, perché quelle persone sono state derubate di tutto, anche del tempo su questa magnifica terra che ci accoglie, e nessun dio, nessun Gesù potrà rimettere insieme i pezzi di carne sparsi sul selciato.
Ma va tutto bene, mamma, sto solo sanguinando.

Wednesday, September 23 Sleep Dose #179 (Elegy For Those Whose Time Was Stolen From).

Where do all the scenes go—the events we’ve lived through in our lives? The experiences of youth slip away; a day comes when you act less and become more introspective, but all those scenes—which in some way define you as invisible traits—continue to exist somewhere, woven together in memory as well as in absence.
Faith in our true selves—in this lump made of a paste chewed over and spat out countless times, this street warrior with whom you’ve identified for so long—has an unquenchable thirst for justice. And when time stands still, when violence bursts in and takes everything away from us in a fleeting instant, then it’s hard to believe in justice, because those people have been robbed of everything—even the time they had on this magnificent earth that welcomes us—and no god, no Jesus, will be able to piece back together the fragments of flesh scattered across the pavement.
But it’s all right, Mom, I’m just bleeding.
