’TWIXT MONTAGUES AND CAPULETS, A GENTLEMAN – IN VERONA

 

 

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!
