Trieste

In all my thoughts
Always or born yesterday
Insists
One who wants to sing
Like a waltz that makes you spin
Your head
Like a stubborn music
Felt and never forgotten
Trieste
Sea and sky without bottom
Belly button of my world
Trieste
A ship adorned
In white blue and celestial
Trieste
A rose in a glass
Two geraniums on the windowsill
Floral Trieste
Ancient tavern songs
Of wine women and nostalgia
My Trieste
Group photo at Miramare
In navy uniform
Postcard Trieste
And your elders by the sea
A mermaid to dream
Trieste
Trieste waltz
Cheerful and northern
Imperial Trieste
Favorite of the sultan
And the emperor
Trieste love
Like a woman so loved
Lost and then sought
Trieste found
Tricolor in spring
Frontier flag
Trieste sharpshooter

Reborn hope
And immediately betrayed
Wounded Trieste
Roman and republican
Sell your skirt dearly
If you must be Italian
