HEART OF CHALK [Italian/ English]

CUORE DI GESSO

Avvicinati.
Vieni
ancora piu’ presso
a me.
Vedi nell’anima mia,.
Cuore di gesso.
Sa’ cos’è ammazzare,

HEART OF CHALK

Come closer
Come closer still.
Look into my soul.
Heart of chalk,
Know what it is to kill.

Short and powerfully

Short and powerfully atmospheric,
the Italian wonderful in sound,
the chalk dust
gathered to snuff one out
in the depths of a brittle heart.

A power house in a few words well thought out...
Just the typo to correct in the last line as you have "IS" instead of "IT"
Hope you are doing ok out there Know that we are thinking of you, Yours Ian.T
