Tra l’azzurro e il bianco
Come era bello il Cortile Teresiano con la neve e il cielo azzurro. Il chiarore riflesso della piazza abbagliava le torri.
Provavo una vertigine insolita mentre percorrevo il selciato sconnesso di sassolini rotondi.
Di fronte, il vecchio San Matteo e da parte, l’Aula Magna.
Mi guardavo attorno come se fosse la prima volta; mi lasciavo emozionare dalla solennità e da quel terso che puliva l’anima.
Mi faceva ricordare il silenzio di anfratti segreti e di vòlte troppo alte nelle chiese gotiche della città. Ad esempio San Francesco mi accoglieva con la purezza di linee essenziali: rigide, severe come quelle spigolose del cristo che ti guardava dall’alto della croce.
Mi perdevo in quella piazza, mi sentivo lavato nell’anima ed ero colmo di gioia.
Uno sguardo incrociato, un amplesso non voluto ma cercato. L’amore si misura anche dal grado di accettazione del volere degli altri, dal saper richiudere le braccia dopo averle tese. È il donarsi incondizionatamente riprendendosi però la propria dignità una volta raggiunto l’orgasmo.
L’amore è come una scheggia infilatasi nella temporalità, il miglio mancante di un lungo cammino; ma anche il solo gesto portato a compimento pensando all’archetipo primordiale e l’abbandono del sé nella più totale consapevolezza.
Giusto in quel cortile tra Corso Carlo Alberto e le Poste, in un tempo infinitesimale per una vertigine che inebria, acceca e raggiunge le molli cieche viscere della città.
E così ti lascio andare.
James Blunt – Bonfire heart
Your mouth is a revolver firing bullets in the sky
Your love is like a soldier, loyal ‘til you die
And I’ve been looking at the stars for a long, long time
I’ve been putting out fires all my life
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burned
And today is our turnDays like these lead to
Nights like this lead to
Love like ours
You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don’t
Need that much just someone that starts
Starts the spark in our bonfire heartsThis world is getting colder, strangers passing by
No one offers you a shoulder, no one looks you in the eye
But I’ve been looking at you for a long, long time
Just tryna break through, tryna make you mine
Everybody wants a flame, they don’t want to get burned
Well, today is our turnDays like these lead to

You light the spark in my bonfire heart
People like us, we don’t
