the streets of venice



experience
connection
time stands still
i hope i don't drop my camera in the waterway
gondola ride for $12 to view the
city on the water
crowds on the rialto
Along the Canal Grande
piazzas and monasteries,
the piazza of San Marco
gallery of the Accademia
i have curly blonde hair
and scars where pretty nice breasts used to be
boats cruising the Laguna
laughter from cafes
purple vino in frosty bottles
windows full of murano glass
and glittery venetian masks
my father died three weeks ago
and i am on a shiny boat
a gondola ride with strangers
