Shadows Of Tuscany (I) . … 121212 Poem by saadat tahir

Naked stands David's form
encircled by a lecherous storm

Basilicas shadow draws so long
Gone now those, so holy strong

That held the scepter at the pews
In chirpy choirs sipped at dews

With so many churches Florence strewn
Under those amazing domes just a few

At buss stations some soulful jazz
in the piazzas above razzmatazz

Doors soar up to lofty arches
winding alleys in daytime dark

Cobble stones echo clickety clack
A soulful howl in a drippy shack

fear and pain from masters whip
Chinking chains from a slave ship

echo glorious buildings a telling wail
rings through blood a curdling tale
