Podestaria - Blooming [Wattys2017]

Se ti tagliassero a pezzetti
il vento li raccoglierebbe
il regno dei ragni cucirebbe la pelle
e la luna tesserebbe i capelli e il viso
e il polline di Dio
di Dio il sorriso.

{ Should they tear you to pieces
Wind would pick them up
The Realm of Spiders would sew your skin
The Moon would weave your hair and visage
And God's pollen
The smile of God }

"Se ti tagliassero a pezzetti", Fabrizio De André, 1981

This book is the sequel of "Podestaria—Kindling": as it is still a WIP, I'm not 100% sure how independent from the prequel it'll be, so I suggest to read the book 1 first, just to be safe. It is also a first draft, so there might be some grammar and spelling horrors, unhappy word choices and unnatural sounding passages—I do my best, but school books and Grammarly won't take me further than that, so feedback is more than welcome.

The Prologue will go live on Thursday, September 1st.
