POUND AT RAPALLO

Why hold a grudge
a century or more
before your sculpture
at Rapallo
and racy Olga Rudge
when your whole life
from penury myth to Muse
fills with conspiracy
why not blame other enemies
and a goddess of justice
wills to name and unloose
in a war's metamorphosis
it will only be a bell toll game
from a Judas kiss
on millions of still life souls.
