Michele Pasin / Quotes

Una notte di zanzare e di caldo

La stanza è piena di zanzare straordinariamente cattive e persistenti: lui ha la schiena e le gambe e le braccia e le mani e perfino lo spazio tra le dita che gli pizzicano in modo insopportabile. Si gira tra le lenzuola pesanti di sudore, scivola fuori dal letto, attraversa la stanza, va a chiudere le veneziane. La notte fuori è densa e immobile come un mare coperto di petrolio; la luna esercita un’insistenza ostile, insinua la sua luce fredda tra i listelli quando lui ha chiuso. Il pavimento e i muri e il soffitto continuano a irradiare calore; l’orologio sotto il piccolo televisore appeso nell’angolo segna le tre e quarantacinque, in piccole cifre verdi luminose.
