Our Man in Europe: HOTEL DAVE (€35 per nite): No 8: "Gone with the Wind."

Our Man in Europe, Dave Delacroix: HOTEL DAVE: No 8: "Gone with the Wind""


Has anyone seen...my old friend
St. Paolo?
Seems so long ago
We broke the bread.

Has anyone SEEN
my old friend Francesca?
She flies like the swallows
that circle in the sky.

Has anyone seen my old friend
Stefano?
Last seen? Lost in a bottle
of broken dreams.

Has anyone seen
the World that was promised?
-lilting in Progress
and gone with the wind.


...Meantime? At the local Cafe, via Mazzini, Piacenza?
the "ragazzi" gather, corks are popped, glasses are "chinked"
and Signori Fabio
launches into a Verdi aria

with gusto!...:)
