VENICE

To you… Lady Venice
Half woman, half fish
the saviour of the sea
in your baroque light…
the seaweed of all your memories
has forever crept up the colored walls
toward infinity…
and has gone out to find the water,
the gondolas, and the sighs,
of those who once knew you
and of those who is seeing you
will never again experience
the same ocean of emotions.
