Blackout by Adele Meccariello from La Repubblica, Jan, 13th 2011:
“The rip of the relationships has delegated to move the clear and heavy new position. I don’t know anybody else. I don’t know anybody else that I’d like. If this is her idea she remained silent.”
Blackout of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense by respirarporrespirar
Translation:
Our dutyis to defy the world.
Fate means nothing.
Blackout by crevettefumee, translated to English:
Wave of the past happened to become
tears in eyes.
It regrets war and massaged
by pressure in its horizon,
suggestively Kills.
