Italian poem, No 2.


Piazza della Repubblica


Rome by night
the arching blue-black dome
above the roaring screeching endless noise
and glaring lights illuminating rain
fragmented images and flashing road
and swirling hissing spraying water
and the noise
and in the midst
a brazen nymph back-lit against the streams of gushing diamonds
blithely bathing in the fountain.
