Adeodato Piazza Nicolai / Saro Marretta / Leonardo Zanier
who, near death
in gratitude
left her a field
in the family they argued
at length whether or not
they should give it to her:
she had no rights
as they weren’t married
but in the end it was agreed
she had done more
for his well-being
than all his relatives
all those who were present
to speculate on his last will
the government should have reasoned
likewise!
too bad the photo
cannot be found
if someone has it
send it to me
I’d put it on the cover
of my next book
