The red sun burns in
the windows of the city:
everything is lost.
Poem "Mille metri" ("A thousand meters", 1937, Antonia Pozzi)
"la tua città coi vetri in fiamme [..] Dove hai lasciato le tue vesti, i volti delle ragazze, i remi?" ("your city with windows on fire [..] Where did you put your clothes, the faces of the girls, the oars?")
