For Viviana
A city
full of echoes,
but, for me, not Italian –
all Shakespearean echoes …
Your skin, so white,
so soft, was Juliet’s skin.
Your eyes were hers.
Your tender kiss a mere caress,
just like your words,
sparkles in the darkness.
There followed no
enchanted evening, but only
an empty, lonely train,
going – perforce – the opposite way,
all risk – perchance – thus
neatly avoided!
