HOTEL ACAPULCO

My emaciated hands continued to write,

turning each voice of death into paper,

That he lefts no will,

forgetting to look after

what everyone defines as the normal business

of every human being: office, home, family,

the ideal, at last, of a regular life.

Abandoned, back in 2026, any defense

of a permanent contract,

labelled as unbalanced,

i’m locked up in the centre of Milan,

Hotel Acapulco, a decrepit hotel,

calling upon the dreams of the marginalized,

exhausting a lifetime’s savings

in magazines and meagre meals.

When the Carabinieri burst

into the decrepit room of the Hotel Acapulco

and find yet another dead man without a will,

who will tell the ordinary story

of an old man who lived windbreak?
