the sky

Written By christina sassayannis

La luna nuova nel cielo ieri sera e oggi le nuvole con il loro timido bisogno di piangere e sentirsi presenti nel ciclo ecologico della vita. La temperatura è africana, il vento ricorda l’Africa l’acqua si dipinge di trasparenza colorata qualcosa di prezioso agli occhi e i piedi felici di sentirsi baciati da essa.

Parto verso nord percorrendo la costa occidentale.

he new moon in the sky last night, and today the clouds with their timid need to cry and feel present in the ecological cycle of life.
The temperature is African, the wind reminds me of Africa, and the water is painted in transparent, colorful hues—something precious to the eyes, and my feet happy to feel kissed by it.

I head north, traveling along the western coast.
