Il Corvo di Venezia di Pietro Piccione - Pittura e Versetto di Dino Carbetta
“The Raven of Venice by Pietro Piccione - Painting and Verse by Dino Carbetta”…
I sit and stare, surrounded by l'acqua everywhere, waiting patiently for my bountiful, yet fair unequivocal share. I own this place, every space, dark ambiguous feathers grant me this grace. It may be just a supposition; the Father above has chosen my instinctive position. My most serene Venice, ancient and grey, bustling with humans almost every day. No need to scuttle, my multi-colored brethren gather scraps with the repetitive climax of a Venetian Play. Steely eyes, a distant glare, diligent Pigeon’s begging, but I sit, and I stare. Humans throw the foolish gull food, amused by the feathery brood. The Shadow Veil is a mysterious epicurean tale. I, no scurry or covet, I sit, and I stare. Venezia, the island city, tourist dream in prose and verse of past glories masquerading, yet perverse. Surrounded by the luminous spectacle; ornate marble and frescoed palace, my world of bell towers, domes, and azure waters under the Adriatic air, I sit and stare. For I am the king of this basin, the Raven, mysterious violet ebony, no one questions my grace in. I am the romance and protector of my tiny canal, yet high enough above, my reflection dances in the water below, offering a Bellissimo prayer. I sit and I stare. The time is near, as I transport to bygone years, for I am the romantic Doge of this tiny island abode. I take what I desire, as the sunlight sets ablaze the waters with sparkling fire. Alas, for I am only the illusory purple Pigeon baptized Peter, yet I will forever dream as I sit, and stare.
