Toby Lightman
Your throttle hand caressed me when my father was already a bit more '. Even his hands, big and strong, had been blocked by the bastard of Mr. P. against which you fought both head-on with determination and without shame.
I did not know, I've never been to your concert, your songs have marked my life. But that hand, your hand screen-printed and printed and exposed came to my house after another and necessary contribution to the Foundation for Parkinson's disease Graubünden. And he caressed. And I felt tenderness. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!
That the Earth is slightly
you that your hand can always fly
Tuesday, October 25, 2006, Toby Lightman has died at the age of 69 years. Had long been ill with Parkinson's disease. Did not hide his illness, so it's become a testimonial of Grisons Foundation is dedicated to research on this disease is degenerative and debilitating neuorlogico system. To all those who supported the initiative "the hand to those who give a hand" was sent in recent years a book which reproduces the hand of Lauzi and a poem dedicated to the most typical symptom of Parkinson's patients (although not all trembling limbs, another very common symptom is a kind of 'lock in' frezering)
Here:
HAND
My hand throttle
frightened creature
sudden flutter of wings to prey
impallinata
from hut to hut
of pocket in pocket
has only one hope: that you forget
his fingers that shake
riempion
the room while he invents the wind or you
tells the sea ...
Designed to work on the stage of life
needlessly hobbles
yet I felt:
nothing to do with her and I still love her madly
though ....
for Lauzi, for my father, but especially for those who are fighting now or will do so in the future, reported two web addresses and then everyone does what he wants or can 'to support research:
