I wrote the following poem at two different times, first taking hallucinogenic truffles and, from mid-production on-wards, austere and completely lucid. Here I have told an imaginary love story, even if with somewhat realistic connotations. In these pages, I fight against existence to awaken the majesty of life, of us not only sentient but also dreamers and producers, creative men I interpolate social criticisms in a poem with an abstract, psychoanalytic, and existential scent. I wonder what role death plays for me and on me. I exist, but am I also a living being as well as existing? Do I support the dynamic flow of life, or, on the contrary, do I present a will that would like to settle down comfortably and fall asleep?E. R.Esposito Romano is an Italian poet and essayist, author of the series of volumes "Be a firefly in the darkness", founder of Macabre Realism and literary movement "Dei Nuovi Giovani". His fleeting and intense style follows Dirty Realism, although nuances of forked language remind G. D'Annunzio's linguistic research. The tenacious abstraction of his poems circumscribed the author in the Beat Genera-tion. The topics addressed are loneliness, a fundamental theme for the Spanish Generation of '98, death, and sexual emancipation.
