L’acqua di Bonifazio
This spa town sparkles on its hilltop: hydros, park
For ballo liscio; stands
For full dress orchestras, where guests remark
On benefits for glands
And organs as they feel the waters percolate,
Diuretic. So, to springs
Stiff couples waltz off to another date
With porcelain. Dusk brings
Relief: cool hands are kissed; pipes play delightfully
On lawns; and you resist
Until regretful sighs say there must be
Another fox trot missed.
