a short collection of really short poems, in italian

after the Grand Day Out on the Comet, on the 15 of november of 2014 I wrote this really short poem, in italian:

poèsia

UPDATE

sono seduto sulla Testa di una Cometa, e nella penombra dormo, e sogno di Principi, e di Volpi e di Rose, e di Uomini in Pace. forse mi sveglierò, e forse no.

then, on the 6 of june of 2015, I wrote this other:

poèsia

PHILAE

update: comete, e me insieme.

and then again, on the 14 of june of 2015, I couldn’t resist to wrote again:

poèsia

UPDATE!

sono seduto sulla testa della mia Cometa, e nella penombra ho dormito. e ho sognato, di pace in terra agli uomini di buona volontà.  buongiorno!

and then on the 8 of january 2016:

poèsia

UPDATE

ho volato a lungo, e poi mi sono seduto sulla testa della mia Cometa,  e nella penombra ho dormito,  e ho sognato di principi, e di rose e di volpi, e di uomini in pace. ho aperto un occhio, un giorno ma il viaggio è lungo, e forse dormirò per sempre. vi saluto.

and the last one, on the 12 of february:

poèsia

UPDATED UPDATE

ero fatto della stessa materia di cui sono fatti i sogni, e la mia piccola vita era circondata dal sonno. ma è stato bello, oh, se è stato bello!

and that’s it. thank you all for everything. it was great, oh, it was really great!

Pictures of the UNESCO world heritage-listed citadel of ancient Palmyra taken following the recapture of the city by Syrian troops backed by Russian forces on March 27, 2016 show the damage made by ISIS during its 10-month occupation. In 2015 the archaeologist, Khaled al-Asaad, who had looked after the ruins for 40 years and refused to reveal the location of archaeological treasures of the city was also murdered by ISIS.

“Elastic spheres can walk on water. Incited by public fascination and engineering application, water-skipping of rigid stones and spheres has received considerable study. While these objects can be coaxed to ricochet, elastic spheres demonstrate superior water-skipping ability, but little is known about the effect of large material compliance on water impact physics. Here we show that upon water impact, very compliant spheres naturally assume a disk-like geometry and dynamic orientation that are favourable for water-skipping. Experiments and numerical modelling reveal that the initial spherical shape evolves as elastic waves propagate through the material. We find that the skipping dynamics are governed by the wave propagation speed and by the ratio of material shear modulus to hydrodynamic pressure. With these insights, we explain why softer spheres skip more easily than stiffer ones. Our results advance understanding of fluid-elastic body interaction during water impact, which could benefit inflatable craft modelling and, more playfully, design of elastic aquatic toys.”
