Very late with this one for Paul Brookes’ challenge. The inspiration is Gaynor Kane’s photo. You can see all the photos here.

Some things

There are words,
Firenze, Brunelleschi, Duomo,
Palazzo, Uffizi, Arno,
Medici, Buonarroti, azzurro,
like waves of the sea that lap
the edge of memory, ring bright
as bells and drift from then to now,
almost tangible, not lost,
but insubstantial as cloud wisps.

I wish, I dream, I will
go back one day,
just to hear the sounds,
smell the scents and feel
another sun upon my face.
