Poem about Venice
Oct. 23rd, 2005 08:26 pmI spoke with one of my dearest friends, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
blumsmile, tonight. She's one of those "arc" friends, someone who has seen you at your best, and your worst, and knows you so well after all these years. We've been friends since we were about fourteen.
She asked me about my lion statue obsession.
So here it is...the poem that started it all. I wrote it right after I returned from Venice (in 1997, I think). Mostly uncorrected, just as I wrote it. It isn't perfect, but it encapsulates a moment for me, and that's what is important.
The last bit is talking about the lion in this particular icon, btw.
( Venice )
