Ode To An American Girl Poem by Paolo Giuseppe Mazzarello

Ode To An American Girl

Rating: 5.0


The building is at the top of the way, that of the few elegant shops.
In semi-darkness the stairs smell of scented low cost cleansing agent,
So those stairs are neither scented nor clean, in the Liberty style.
You smell of clean linen, cotton scented of high cost liberty.
I sit close to you, by your side; your short black dress rises up along the thighs.]
Out there, in a dizzle, your cheek is wet silk connected with my cheek.
All of a sudden, the June's sun is up,
Warms my chest and my arms under a thin blue suit.
American Diaspora Street widens out;
All around the scenery changes, gets rich, is renewed.
Arrivederci.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
In the picture: the ocean liner "United States" in 1952, photographed by Bettmann/ Corbis, then published on National Geographic.
"God bless America, land that I love"
And I really love it
"Stand beside her and guide her"
In this case I'm thinking about American girl.

Nostalgic blend of aromas, as taken from the childhood, from ones prime 'smell of clean linen, cotton scented of high cost liberty', a hint of forgotten past and start of new life in America 'American Diaspora Street widens out' - a snapshot of a dawn of someone`s life already in the past, somewhere in June. Fascinating and highly readable poem.
