Nervous Wanderings

Echoes of Lisbon

by Alessandro Cusimano


Empire of Janeiro

immortal embrace
of a fragrant victress

caressing
bodily shape mimosa
carnal scent of Angola

female equivalent
of a tempting faun
able to appear

bronzed
statuesque

rising
hues verging on rosy

surrounded
by a medieval ocean
immense
sacred vestments

the courting
of a majestic Sun

remembrance
in love with
a perpetual symphony

East is Macao

and resounds loud
in Formosa
