The World is experiencing a moment of stand-still during the events of Covid-19 pandemic. Surely it is affecting each one of us in many different ways. To some this means fear and uncertainty about the future, economic difficulties, to others \u2013 inspiration and time to create. This period brings ideas into surface, raises questions and debates about our healthcare and economic systems, ecological, political and social issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a series of posts featuring creative expressions made during Covid-19 pandemic, or previous works that are particularly relevant during these times of change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Today we are sharing a poetry piece by Davide Castiglione<\/a>, who is a creative writer, researcher and lecturer in English language and literature at Vilnius University, Lithuania, where he is based at the moment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Davide is also an active member of Ideas Block community, contributing to our activities by organising Mind Sharpener<\/a> events \u2013 a series of lively, thought-provoking talks and debates varying from academic research to reflections stemming from professional practice, of general interest and open to everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

March 2020<\/strong>\n \nWhat a way is paved ahead of you, gold medal in the long\nJump of the species. Poets fill their lungs\nWith inspiration until\nYou take inspiration\u2019s place there. Unless modesty gets first,\nGently leaning its fresh gauzes\nUpon where your spikes would have clung.\nModesty never got me, haughtiness does still.\nI capitalize on your sphere-shaped body and fame;\nYou capitalize on their feeble bodies without fame.\n \nShe is here no more. Her voice was warm and coarse\nLike whitening nuggets crackling in the fireplace.\nShe used to stand on her steady\nWidening smile, not simply the courteous smile\nOne has on Sunday family lunches. I flew away\nThe fireworks would not stop as here it was\nNational holiday, the Soviet tanks\nThirty years back. I flew\nAway, got to the gym let\u2019s see if my arms\nWill end up touching if will unite in prayer\nWhile labouring to win against the iron load.\nLet\u2019s see if my mind will get dull, eventually,\nAping these voices warped by techno synths.\nThen home. Reclusion in low spirits,\nOne spirit will visit us and we\u2019ll call it\nOur Spirit of Initiative, one word weighted\nFor those far apart, warmth travelling via Skype,\nHomemade apple pie\nComing out of the oven.\n \nThe air is clean, it doesn\u2019t seem to carry.\nThe leaves with their rustle would bring peace.\nWere it not for the numbers once they cease\nBeing numbers on a screen. Were it not\nFor the emptied bellies of the buses. Were it not\nFor the red and yellow plastic ribbons\nSurrounding the swings in deep surrender.\n \nRecluse of the jungles \u2013 the air is clean.\nFrenzied influencer \u2013 the air doesn\u2019t appear\nTo carry. Jump and sprint, the venues in Venice\nThe dolphins took them, we cannot clap.\nAll the roads, the empty roads, lead to you. And if\nA morning in March in two thousands twenty\nIt\u2019s me clinging onto you if it\u2019s me\nCapitalizing on your body and fame\nThen allow me once to feed on your fame\nAnd make myself seen and known and inject\nThese lines into the skin and breadth of others.\n <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
