Portofino (Free verse) by wEdible Underpantsw
Promise me you will not forget Portofino. Promise me you will find the trompe l'oeil on the bedroom walls at the Splendido. The walls make a scene you cannot enter. Perhaps then you will comprehend this longing for permanence I often mentioned to you. Across the harbor? A yellow church. A cliff. Promise me you will witness the day diminish. And when the roofs darken, when the stars drift until they shatter on the sea's finish, you will know what I told you is true when I said abandonment is beautiful.

Very fine and wondrous. But a bit bollocky.
