Memorias del Subdesarrollo

one of my favorite films of all time… and how i think of it so much in my life, especially at this time. if all this film ever did was what it has done for me it was worth making it. thank you tomás. by dd

make my day

sometimes all you need is a little innocence. other times a vacation, friends, champagne, money, bacon, massage, poolside bloody mary, and private trio. right now i’m in that vacation, friends, champagne, money, bacon, massage, poolside bloody mary, and private trio mode. don’t know about you? by dd

ode to a flower in casarsa

Desert flower, flowers from the garland
of our houses where families
bicker in the open air,

you browse on the stones of the day,
simple, while field and sky 
like sky and sea 
appear all around.

Rustic desert flower,

no evening streaming with lights.

No shepherds drenched by dew,

slender fire of the hedges.

No marsh-marigold, bilberry, swamp-violet
or Florentine iris, or gentian, no angelica,
no Parnassian grass or marsh-myrtle.

You’re Pieruti, Zuan
and tall Bepi with his walking-sticks of bone,
slim at the helm of his wagon,

pasture flower.

You become hay. Burn, burn,
sun of my town, little desert flower.

The years pass over you,
and so do I, with the shadow of the acacia tree,
with the sunflower, on this quiet day.

a visionary on many fronts, the stunning words of mr. pier paolo pasolini. by sv
