Leaving Venice To the Rain

BY BILL GABLE

Tonight the mortar in the portico was crumbling
in the church of San Stefano
and the nave was filled with burning candles
and all through the night the rain
came beating on the roof like a broken tambourine
While I wandered through the streets tonight without you
and I stood before your window
and I swore I never would forget you
Each year when the rains return
when the veil begins to close
when the web begins to fall
I will always think of you
and I will always feel the same
leaving Venice to the rain.
