March 2017 Collage Poem - Internationalism
Blue enchantment, starlight pallette
Nazi visions of underworld clowns
An evening of art, newborns, and profanity

I'm aware that translated, the metre is wrong.
Sono consapevole del fatto che tradotto, lo strumento è sbagliato.
But this language pulsates to my yearning.
Ma questo linguaggio pu...
