White light folded, sheathing about her, folded.
The new years walk, restoring
Through a bright cloud of tears, the years, restoring
With a new verse the ancient rhyme. Redeem
The time. Redeem
The unread vision in the higher dream
While jewelled unicorns draw by the gilded hearse.

Warm bright light cool clear nights
This bienelle's dialectic of ethics or aesthetics (un)done
One creamy risotto one dry prosecco consumed
Considering how the canal's kaleidoscopic confusion
Concludes abruptly at a purposeful pediment
Standing slightly apart at della Pieta
As a season of Vivaldi closes with Piazzolla.       (libertango)
