So mortal the doubt by Ilaria Boffa published on 2022-08-20T11:22:21Z Field recording taken in Vibo Marina (Italy) by IB Violin improvisation and vocals on the beach by https://soundcloud.com/ida-di-vita Sono-poetry, sound effects and mixing by IB Excerpt #2 from my in progress new poetry book: 'And then there’s failure. Again and again. A sandcastle torn down right before it falls. Because it’s stinging to see it washed in with the tide blown away or stamped over by someone else. It’s always been an elsewhere with an unnatural push to end. Failing failing failing and failing again. It’s the cost of regret and choices deferred that burdens us. Getting old and realising that we haven’t shared our lives. The gusts of wind clearing fast the air when fall starts. Trying, trying, trying and trying again. So mortal the doubt of being defeated the discomfort, the weakness. If only guilt could make amends. Everywhere is an elsewhere. Such region of possibility blurs behind the virtuality of this decade the world’s several attempts to decarbonise as fast as possible chasing consensus at COP negotiations. We should sign our own Paris Agreement and write a consistent rubric. We should lie down under an auburn skyline and kiss. E poi c’è il fallimento. Ancora e ancora. Un castello di sabbia distrutto giusto prima di cadere. Perché è dura vederlo scomparire con la marea spazzare via dal vento o calpestare da qualcun altro. È sempre stato un altrove dall’innaturale spinta a finire. Fallire fallire fallire e fallire ancora. È il costo del rimpianto e delle scelte differite che grava su di noi. Invecchiare e rendersi conto di non aver condiviso le nostre vite. Le raffiche di vento che puliscono l’aria veloci all’inizio dell’autunno. Provare, provare, provare e provare ancora. Com’è mortale il dubbio del venir sconfitti il disagio, la debolezza. Se solo la colpa facesse ammenda. Dovunque è un altrove. Questa regione di possibilità sbiadisce dietro la virtualità dell’ultima decade i numerosi tentativi del mondo di decarbonizzare il più velocemente possibile inseguendo il consenso alle negoziazioni COP. Dovremmo firmare il nostro Accordo di Parigi e scrivere un corrispondente protocollo. Dovremmo stenderci sotto uno skyline ramato e baciarci.'
