BREAD AND TULIPS
Pane e tulipani
-Italian movie
Say you had a bad day, wept
on shoulders, alienated
friends, slammed
down receivers on customers
Say you escaped to a dark
cinema where weeping
is normal, to Venice
& the heroine leaves her life,
say, to play the accordion
and love a suicidal & romantic
ex-murderer turned good. Your mood
might too. Katharine Hepburn, they
say, swam a Venice canal
in a movie once, and her eyes
never stopped weeping.
