the sun

looks

at me

while disappearing

italian expresso

degustation


the italian wine is a head-hit
without a headache

the beauty of art


the prettiest girl in the world
in a couple of lines
becomes ugly

italian promenade

whatever i do
whatever i think
whatever i don't think
my brain is always cold

don't speak it's better
