5785

By Pietro Cioni

"Today I turn 5,785 years old, and my veins are atlases of continents that have forgotten their own names."

In this transcendent work of prose-poetry, an immortal narrator-old as recorded civilization-journeys through a world governed by ceaseless motion. Here, cities are a restless tide. Towers migrate like flocks of startled birds, plazas sigh under the gravitational pull of memory, and language crumbles, shedding its skin until only pure song remains.

The Cities Walk Toward the Sea is a profound odyssey where matter itself seeks escape. The stone foundations flee the past, trekking relentlessly toward the ocean, not to drown, but to ascend as vapor, like thoughts too quiet to be held.

As the narrator follows, witnessing the rise and fall of "The Century of Thinking Clouds" and navigating the labyrinthine "Museum of Distorted Memory," he is forced to confront the core truth of his existence: the only direction granted to the immortal is elsewhere.

Pietro Cioni's lyrical and visionary work is an act of breathtaking linguistic surrender-a powerful meditation on what remains when time is reduced to a gas and the soul finds freedom in the final act of letting go.

This is an eternal journey of dissolution-where all boundaries turn to song, and to be truly alive, one must simply let go.
