Ecumenical Travels
Across from the Colosseum
I romanticized the past,
Like I could be a part of something.
I could align with ruins that remain.
I have seen it.
And I’ll show them.
Although, it was beautiful.
Building blocks, today, are shaped;
half-directed by life,
half-directed by ruins.
Like roads across from the Colosseum.
What will remain drives so much.
These ruins for the future.
What’s created,
it’s a part of something.
