___DUE DI NOTTE___
A final attempt to communicate one’s pain before “leaving.” Words pour spontaneously from a restless, agitated body toward another—the listener’s—which remains still, calm, heavy, and, given the hour, very sleepy.
This is what appears. We are witnessing a soul on the edge—one that does not truly wish to tell its story, or at least not through the literal meaning of words, but rather through the *way* those words are expressed.
This is what appears. The other person is bewildered, left without a foothold, and begins to regret having rushed to the side of the one who sent out the SOS. This failure to communicate triggers moments that are by turns comic and tragic, yet it also serves as a powerful lever to upend what merely “appears” to be the case.
