VENICE
Apart
from the fact that it is all islands here,
the islands are specialized
there is an island for boats
an island for bones
an island for glass
an island for dogs
an island for gardens
an island for the dead
an island for music
an island for God
.
Island is a word that
after you write it several times
island island island
begins to insist
Is Land Is Land Is Land
as if to overcome the amazing
artificiality of it all
the way music is artificial
and pearls
