Piazza San Marco

The cold from the east chills you to the bone, but still, no one is leaving too gracefully, disgustingly gracefully. The air smells of tonic water and resentment mixed with something sweet and poisonous, like caramel with a hint of arsenic. Everything revolves around the same conversation, which it's long overdue to end, but the tongue is still looking for excuses. It seems the nite is about to fall into morning, but the sound of a police siren brings everyone back down to earth. And only the hands don't part awkwardly, stubbornly, as if holding on a little tighter could hold back the moment while Venice still burns in the water's reflection. The evening, which promised to be ordinary, became a small apocalypse with a salty taste on our lips and nervous laughter between phrases: "That's it, enough."
