Francesco’s poem explores the yearning for the unknown, evoking peaceful oblivion where we find solace in the salty air and fading horizon, exclusively for Different Truths.

I get lost
on full moon nights
and I abandon myself
ruining on me
in inner silence
finding peace again
that thin veil that covers
existence and the life of days.
I am far from the world
in this sea
mysterious
I breathe an acrid and salty breath
and it's nice to drown in it
and navigate it without routes
drifting over time
beyond the visible horizon.
