Venice IV, Hope

stone upon stone upon stone
Water runs underneath
sleepy
carries glances not strong enough to persist to persuade
playing words like music
words tired from walking tormented by waiting
upon stone upon
The air is full of kisses tears sighs whispers heartbreaks
where rio startles calle
stone
Your hand
I will take you across the water
No no no no no no
no
I built it for you though
upon stone upon stone upon stone
water runs underneath
weary
Our hanging arms a chain bridge
The sky a maze of nameless clouds
where history turns into
story upon story
upon story
