Letter To E - Nits

Dear Eric

Yesterday evening I came home late

And I went to the shelf with the videotapes

I saw the tape of Geneva, March 31. 1984

The day we went to the fountain

Flavia, you and me

It’s a circle of women

With names that ended with an A

They went away

They went away

Remember, you said you wanted

A photograph of the four of us

We watched the fountain and we walked in Geneva

Around the Russian church with the golden onions

We saw a guitar in the window

It was great

Like a Picasso painting

It’s a circle of women

With names that ended with an A

They went away

They went away

Now frame by frame

The water fell from the fountain

Today your necklace is broken

The string of pearls, gallery of portraits

The women that ended with an A

The frozen moment of a summers day

It was a circle of women

With names that ended with an A

They went away

That’s ending on Y
