Voyage poétique - There will be a time The Great Livorno

There will be a time an arrival

suffused in a halo of marine light

immemorial snows of marble

chess board and columns

shrouded in a mild sundown.

a name as a promise : Terrazza.

There will be a time a blazer with the colorful test pattern,

playmobil figures in the principal's office,

hearts of paper that they're still expecting to grow.

There will be inward fireworks

and cloudburst of laughs,

the dusky canals are – onyx mirrors

- perfect reflection of night illuminations -

tide of wind and slew of lights.

There will be a time when stamps and pan di stelle will be our treasures again

when palm trees and façades will shine anew with yellow

when the light of the canals will dance under bridges

and we will walk once more on

la piazza della Repubblica.

Livorno, du 13 au 19 mars 2016, dès 7h et jusque dans la nuit
