Milanese Summers

Are you sure you really miss the summer?

Just before turning into a ghost town
Milano burns: sunlit faces flow thick like honey
as they flicker between buses
and pulsing buildings that remind them
of a mother’s quivering chest — erratic,
since she knows her children too
will one day die.
