She woke up on the last day
after the tour
3 days past the coffee shop.
Running through the streets
she tasted the sea
felt the nautical ropes
the careless sea saying of old:
"only dead fish go with the tide..."
she ran past canals
felt the fatal architecture.
The witty gothic austerity
bounced off the dock
into her heart.
She left her luggage.
like this. I like your phrases-esp 'running thru the streets, she tasted the sea...' it resonates.
ReplyDeletealso, the saying (is it an old one?) only dead fish go with the tide...like that one too
The saying is an old, old proverb which I believe came from the area. Someone may have told me it was written on a bridge there.
