It's the south ,memory of sleeping kingdoms
pyramides like peaks rising up to the gods .
south , with sandy skies and caravans following the star.
A lost aviator meets the little prince
and brilliant constellation shows the way to kings ,
there's a desert in the migrant's dream .
Lands of thirst ,silence ,and faith .
Death deals with wise tree.
Long procession of black-clad brides ,accompanying...
Solitary stone of fate fallen from the angel's hand,
gateway to hell or garden of eden ,
Infidels eaten of plague ...
To each their own .
It's the south ,mother of wars and conquests .
To each their destiny and acceptation ,
wind blowing in the same direction .
I contemplate you, violent orient !
Spicy scent in the glowing dawn ,incandescence,
girls opulent curves pulsate like fragile oases ,
evanescent jasmine ...
South of sublime cities, that bathes the sea
of triomphant empires !
Dazzled barbarian drapped in caesar's toga,
seized by the greek word's musical
and the perfect chiselling of latin phrasing...
Via veneto ,Pier Paolo enjoying an espresso ,
on Ostia beach ,waves licking
a cadaver's poetic languor ...
In the jostle of your tagged walls,
tempo di roma , bunga-bunga
and shameless modernity of naked creatures,
as the south of the old soul, slowly disolves...

An exotic setting with vivid images covers a metaphor that supports the structure. Choices that disolve.
Thanks.I added a sentence '' Infidels eaten of plague '' The cruelty of an unidealized south .
Great write
Thank you Tony.
You're welcome
A land of ancient secrets, sharp contrasts, vivid contradictions, greatness and decadence. The spiritual and the sensual, the eternal and the transient, images of sacred deserts and great empires intertwine here, each reflecting the rich history of a world slowly fading into history.
A beautiful poem!
Deep south vs deep state !
