good news

'Know, that Durante saw Bice once, during afternoon passagiata, district

 

San Martin al Vescovo, sestiere San Pier Maggiore, not yet a Duomo, or

Brunelleschi's dome, but to create conditions, temperate and timely,

​For my Son and I's couple, the greyhound and the Child,

​

Who will purge, very air of Rome, one day, reeking, with crisis after

Crisis, scandal after scandal, and darkest abuse, with good news, via,

An infant's name and Easter'...
