Bertinoro’s swifts,
Slim arcs of screaming darkness,
Black sickle squadrons
Banshee round towers,
Fast basking murmurations
Planktoning the gnats.
Renaissance vistas
Whitening through focal fields
Sanguinary depths;
Ignorant armies
Clashed by right in clear sight of
Fungible beauty,
Whereas cicadas
Within the magnolias
Jam all frequencies.
Bologna Airport:
Departure gates in Retail,
Unwanted items,
They exiled Design
From this Global Shopping Mall.
Italy’s betrayed.
