The Nonexistent Spaces

The Nonexistent Spaces

We were the ships, we were built, we departed
How to fill a space that has been lost, has sunk
There is a language that cannot be suppressed: may I adopt
The wind blows through you hair, columns hide the years
Nifty Matron, with sensuous hair and breast, the gondola will
The way through is the space of dogs sniffing marble
Colour is hardly a diversion here. The transparent light
The nonexistent spaces in the Arsenale! The swaying columns

The wind blows through your hair, columns hide the years
Of growing older and how everything could happen in a
Stone that held your head so tightly from up high.
You showed a blushing cheek. There you are, while the
People gape, cough and became a child again, was that child
Girl with the darling small breasts, and I my timid self.
