"Arrovellarsi"
January 27 "Day of Remembrance"
Along the Tiber
Along the Tiber
the Tiber Island and the Ponte Rotto
the Four Stone heads
seem to stare
the Ghetto and the plaque in memory
of the many massacres
Jews killed
racial madness
They can smell the lamentations
resonate the mother screams
ground footprints that move
lost souls
alleyways that ooze
clotted blood
written history
gray that air
that envelops the memory
like a gloomy cloak
