"White Mal". And the sea - "my sea". We understand the place of this poem, its energetic birth, however painful, and energetic in its pain, almost proactive - Memory of the sea -. Are they not words and places, even just these, of childhood? - of childhood memory, of a possible or impossible return to a childhood lived in fullness, which is read in filigree, in the backlight of the verses.
Childhood sought - "Paradise is yesterday" - corresponds to the impossibility. - an impossibility that branches in an embrittled present: childhood, the "primitive serene", is distance and distance, not escape; he is yearning, not unreachable without remission; "The certainty of a return" (from the preface by Matteo Mario Vecchio).
