  • The Luzzu and the Colossus

    On the slow waves, a luzzu rests,
    with the blue that caresses the sky,
    the yellow that captures the sun,
    and the red that whispers ancient stories.

    Moored at the quiet dock,
    it carries with it the breath of the sea.

    On the border between dream and distance,
    a giant slips away,
    the container ship full of worlds,
    of stacked colors,
    shaded like memories that are lost.

    And while the small and the large touch each other,
    the sea unites them,
    silent guardian of every journey,
    of every farewell, of every return.
