only the moon

The Molo, view over Basilica di San Giorgio Maggiore
your long-forgotten whispers
get free with each and every tide
rowing back into the darkness
of your outlandish pride

only the moon has woken up,
setting ashore his lights 
upon the painless death cup,
to listen to your troubled rights

still hanging on the holy cross
craving for some bitter aftertaste, 
eager was the mighty albatross
to swallow up your breathless haste
