THE TALANTHOUGHT

THE THREAD

How much sea breeze and salt in the veins of a sailor, and scent of madness, melancholy, play, wonder!
My lost childhood I look for it everywhere. Even in her eyes or in the big eyes of a child.
I look for it in a still, sunny afternoon, in the smoke of a train, in a white road of stones, in a scent, a colour.
Love is neither fire nor sweetness: it is only a thread that can go far.

Giampaolo Talani
