Via Cola di Rienzo
an iconic thoroughfare
runs from the Vatican City
to the River Tiber
There stands a tree sculpture
It witnesses the tourism driven prosperity
and Roman workers’ everyday struggles
I name this piece of street art ‘Pain’
Tag: Rome
Modern Ruler
Standing on the esteem
of a general and statesman
Watching the ancient ruins
and civilisation beneath
The gull is the most free
ruling the modern atmosphere
over all prominent figures
and architectures
stretching from the Colosseo
to L’Altare Della Patria
Footsteps of Centuries
Rome
I only allow myself
to be half full of Rome
untill nightfall
The ancient streets
are filled with mortal sins
of the modern life
In the shadow of the street lights
I take off my sandals
kneading my heels into the cold cobblestones
pressing my palms on the old walls
Now
I let the saints and ghosts
fill me with the rest
A scarlet rose in my hair
A bronze raven at my feet
Flicker of Thoughts
