Venezia, Afterwards Poem by M.L. Emmett

Venezia, Afterwards

Rating: 4.5


The gondola chains chink chink
with the rising tide
deep throated voices
echo and bounce
down the mist coiling canals
Raspberry golden dust rays
of a slow sunset
split the spaces
of the room

Are you still awake?
I am,
but I pretend
I could close my eyes
forever now
and die here
with you.
