Imola, my friend! I have been thinking about you so much this week. I really believe you could publish this poem.
My favorite is stanza #2: the juxtaposition of your message of love to your daughter (just in case it is the last thing she remembers of you if your plane crashes) with her reply about whether there is avocado oil. It's where death and life collide. Really well done.
I cannot wait to hear more about your experience!
And I hope the black lace underwear gets its own poem. ;)
Che bellezza, Imola! Funny, sensual, takes us to Terni (un posto stupendo). Se c'e' una cosa che fa l'Italia e' ricordare al cuore quello che vuole veramente. Sounds like your trip is going marvelously!
What a journey these beautiful, evocative, sensuous, humorous poems took me on! I really felt like I was there, even inside your skin (as only wonderful poets can manage to do). I see you are soaking in every pleasure, even the ugly ones like sheep shit! So so happy for you my friend! P.S. Will your black lace underwear go on a journey, too? (mischievous giggle here....)
Omg, Amy, the black lace underwear has (inadvertently!) become a legend here! 😂 so far, only the cleaning lady has seen it when it is hanging dry in my bedroom :)
That landscape line 🥹😍
This was so much fun to read! Thank you. Enjoy these last days of travel!
Thank you my friend. Rome is crazy now with the jubilee and new pope but I’m picking up many new writing inspirations!
I’m so happy that you are in Italy 🇮🇹 living some of your dreams… ♥️♥️♥️
It feels so much like home here! Missing you my friend. ♥️
Wow Imola, what a poem, so visceral so alive!! I really love it ❤️🔥

Thank you my friend! That stanza got big laughs. And the black lace underwear too much attention… will write more for sure!! So much to take in! Xox

Grazie Flavia! Non voglio mai lasciare l'Italia! Qui la mia anima si sente più viva!
Amica mia! Sono felice per questo tempo prezioso che hai per te!
Cara amica! Si, è troppo bello qui! Ti racconterò tutto con un matcha :) baci
