Dead in Venice

Lorenz

   Dead in Venice .

I want to ward off the curse of men

with dirty minds .

Greedy  casoars  in cassocks .

Smelly old skin  under the neons

that dance immodestly 

soiling angels beauty ...

Your hormonic smell of alcohol and tobacco

repulse my  will of harmony ...

Those foul mouths that bite the child .

  Animals of the night 

I am your  enemy ! 

stalking in the nooks of your  souls,

dagger designing  countryside on your throat.

   Dead in Venice .

Drawing a bloody pizzicato  on the flesh of the piano,

in the last act the curtain shroud on the cadaver ...

  Knight I'll find grace ,embracing the heights !

       Sublime cleaner ! 

  Grotesque shadow in piazza San Marco 

   I'll rip your domino off ,

 leaden flowers rain down on  inferno !

  In the doge,decrepit palazzo ,

  killing all dogs  and  servants

I'll drain the laguna of its vices ,

   dead in venice ...

And taking a cab  to oblivion .

   Avenger you never have enough  life ...

    Your insignificant production has no interest for me .Bye !

  • sorenbarrett

    A dark and angry tone to this well written piece. It speaks of foul deeds and has a fotting smell that takes the reader to the shadows. Very nicely done

      Laguna' s dark side ...Thank you !

    • Ellen Marsell

      Venice has long symbolized vice, temptation, and hidden danger, making it a source of inspiration for some writers and poets.
      This poem is like a creepy ballad. Roberto Succo, infamous for his cruelty, is felt as a ghost wandering through Venice. His image gives the poem an ominous tone, combining the beauty of Venice with tragedy and decay.
