The Masks

By Edda Tassi

The envious neighbor lives , spying , copying what you do.

It's horrible, because he will hurt for a purpose: to eliminate you.

He has no choice. Watch out! Remember that nothing that happens is important, because they tell you what doesn't happen. They like the lies. They're the ones prepared a great world party in 2019.

Book preview

A Celtic mask

1

The Empire of red lanterns, of slaves

He wanted to be a poet

for lonely ladies

The Argentine with Italian grandparents.

belonged to the sage

in a moment.

Infect me with your virus

as old as the world

new to me, oh my dear stranger!

Already I met you

but I don’t remember anything.

Let’s review the script

with new characters, new words.

Infect me with your plague

I’m not afraid of die, oh my
