Only One Song To Only One Woman Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Only One Song To Only One Woman

Rating: 5.0


In the Edward Hopper's oil painting, beyond the gas station,
The forest is dark and the road leads up to there.
While the postman always rings twice Jessica Lange is depressed,
Clara Calamai is even poorer in Ossessione.
In Casablanca, Humphrey Bogart helps Ingrid Bergman to take a plane,
There was no hurry as time went by.
Right next to the barracks by the main gate,
There stood a lantern and stands there up to date (1) :
Hanna Shygulla helps Giancarlo Giannini to escape the nazis,
He finds a new sweetheart in Swiss,
Hanna sets out towards the exit taking to her stiletto heels(2) .
Many people can't maintain their positions.
Many stories happen in this time of high cost gas and professional armies.
The last female figure was really one of the Freud's relatives (3) ,
Only one song to only one woman at a time.
Only one story, our story. Like then, Lili Marleen (1) .

So many beloved personages in an interesting compilation. Building a poem on references to other genres is an interesting technique, your trick-knack. It makes the poems sound retrospective. I remember me that movie with Hanna Shygullaand the song of the popular Lili Marlene. It is all revived in my mind. Bravo!
