6 – 23

deserted parlour
a hinge of white corollas
floats amid shadows

    Thanks! I like my prose a little experimental, with a mix of obscure words and terms of the spoken language. As a linguist, I’m also fascinated by etymologies and semantic shifts. The eBook is currently available only in Italian, but several stories have appeared in English on a number of journals: https://leisurespotblog.blogspot.com/search?q=ssp&by-date=true&m=1 (you have to scroll down a bit).
