Flavio Picchi
"I'm Flavio Picchi, an androgyne non binary writer and video artist based in Rome. With my writing I wish to tell the influence of today's 'accelerated landscape' over our bodies and show how queer practices and patterns can help us cope."
Earthly Delights
Mudbath footprints on white tiles
leaving schoolgirl earwhisper behind.
Apocalypse pixelstorm:
bloody dark spot in the yard.
Androgynous ghost:
clock hands, wired petals and rust
stretching invisible arms
longing for a self to slash
for a mind to rip
into a void of morbid rush.
Celestial engines plug in our backs
to find one’s screen:
blurred border of a dream,
floating mirrored sex,
the ‘thing’, I mean
still hanging above my mind.
It burns a hole:
it would be easier to die.
Surrender, at last.
Atomic crystallizing reflections
remember me,
this body made of land.
It’s me! I’m the whole:
this might be an angel instead.
