I like walking..
but I don't to follow the path
because of sure things have no longer mystery,
I like to go very far in summer,
but go back where my mother is, in winter
and see the dogs which never forgot me
and the embraces that my siblings give me.
I like the sun
and woman when crying,
the swallows and the mean ladies,
jumping off balconies and to open windows
and I like the girls in April.
I like the wine as much as the flowers
and the lovers, but I don't like men,
I love to be friend of the thieves
and the songs in French.
Neither am I from here nor am I from over there,
neither am I aged nor do I have future
and to be happy is my colour of identity.
...
I like lying on the sand
or pursuing to Manuela by bicycle
or seeing the stars with Maria
in the wheat field all the time.
...

ReplyDeletebut I don't [] follow the path
because [] sure things no longer HAVE mystery,
I like to go very far in summer,
but go back where my mother is, in winter
and see the dogs which never forgot me
and the embraces that my siblings give me.
I like the sun
and THE woman when crying,
the swallows and the mean ladies,
jumping off balconies and openING(1) windows
and I like the girls in April.
I like the wine as much as the flowers
and the lovers, but I don't like men,
I love to be A friend of the thieves
and the songs in French.
Neither am I from here nor am I from over there,
neither am I aged nor do I have A future
and to be happy is my colour of identity.

(1) It's better to keep a parallel structure here: jumping/opening
Well done!
In the first sentence
ReplyDelete"I like walking but I don't [] follow the path" I wanted to say actually:
"I like walking but I don't like to follow the path", so I wanted an infinitive with "follow",
can I say: "I like walking but not following the path" ??
Both are acceptable and mean the same thing. I prefer the first, because it emphasizes the difference between what you like and don't like. Another option is:
ReplyDeleteI like walking but I don't like following the path.
Still, I prefer your first one.
Thank you very much
