Francesco paints a breathtaking scene: a solitary star, draped in celestial gold, whispers secrets to the clouds, exclusively for Different Truths.

Where are you star?
Then, with your golden lights
in the night, you shine
and sing in the clouds
in a violin concert
clothed in eternal mystery.
What sings in your lips
when the sun warms
every breath born from your heart
and every kiss stolen from the world
rip from your thought
the great ethereal breath.
