Womb (Grembo)


A vase is like a womb where a child sows some seeds.
The seeds sprout and a tree grows.
Then, they come back to the world, to become adults.

The mother, cannot forget.

Le Marche. Land of hills, on the Adriatic Sea shore. Recanati city, an afternoon, last winter.
Walking with the aunts. Joyful, the sisters. Joyful, Daniele and me.

Vase: corroded edge, bottom cut obliquely.
Fragment of wooden branch found in the river.

Milan, January 2003.
