The Leaning Tower of Pisa

by Wolran Kim (#990)


Never collapse even inclined
Your shoulders have a 5.5 degree, you step on the swamp
Back of a rumor says it will split if your partner inclines
Even was sad neck breaks down through the eyes of the leaning frame  
Compose again the red sky gathering slanted gaze
lick a stigma as melted wax running down a leaned candlestick
Hang in as the round sun which sets and rises every day
Bearing tidal weight falling as ground
Cohesion of the right hand grabing the throat of the gradient
The world opens wide towards the green grass of the Duomo
The window of Loggia is colossal
It is growing as submerged plants eating the Mediterranean winds
In a Phoenician soldier's eyes
With silent heart without curfew bell sounding ever
The blue eyes as the bell tower keep opening to falling me

The Leaning Tower of Pisa


This tower never falls down even though it’s inclined
Your shoulders have a five point five degree
Rumors say it will split if it sinks
Your neck breaks down through eyes of the leaning frame
Compose again the red sky gathering gaze
Hang in as the round sun which sets is afloat
as bearing tidal weight collapses to the ground
The world wide facing the green grass of Duomo
The Loggia window is colossal still
growing as submerged plants eat Mediterranean winds
In a Phoenician soldier's soft eyes
The blue eyes opening toward me falling
