ACCURSED VENETIAN PALAZZO
.
Walk through these old rooms – spend a moment here.
Measure precious stonework in gilded drapes.
Yet this be no dream for California.
Horror nightmares infest an old house fear.
.
Forget murdered children of the founder
To this marble feast, his son-in-law’s head
Beaten to pulp and blood, and daughter’s life
Snuffed from her body in the grand canal.
.
Forget deported queer lovers who fled
Bankrupt and shamed. Forget the ticking clock
Sounding doom doom doom at drug addict rock
Band manager who never slept one night here.
.
Do not ask what is it. Nor steal more lines
From poet that lives in the garden wall.
