"PRELUDE" Kneeling in the dark, Broken under a homeless shelter, companion of storm in the open air, Starless, Moonless Immersed in mud full of thoughts. Dreaming that one day I'd get rich With all that existed hands-free, old-fashioned digging the treasure of the same misery full of torn corpses. Prelude Silent Duel, Begging for innocence Prey to thirsty blood desires where the whole, the nothingness they come together forever. And I continue to transcend into futility Disabled, buried alive That one day I will become comfortable with my own peace. © Angela Kosta Angela Kosta was born in Elbasan (Albania) and has lived in Italy since 1995.
