oh city, city..

 

I have to 

confess I went to Venice to make sure I

saw it before it was

drowned

And then of course, the 

Biennale was an extra

gift,       of  

        the fight, the struggle, the protests, the cries, the

        reexaminations, the hopefulness and

        despair that can be 

        expressed by the arts

Each time we survive we probably put aside our

death

for one more

image, one more

breath

as we have

always 

done
