white sails in the blue-tinted sky
useless talk of people around me
the wizard of light has taken over the sea
time is suspended, motionless, quiet
useless talk of people around me
the wizard of light has taken over the sea
time is suspended, motionless, quiet
in a thousand mirror shards
in this endless peace
in Pellestrina
the seagull's cry
makes me feel lonelier
memories run riot
they have a face and a voice
they drag me into the dark
they scream
I am their helpless meal
Oh God, make them be quiet!
Mario Stefani (Venice, 1938-2001)
