THE WOMEN OF BURANO    -    Versione italiana

The women of Burano
are working white crochet-needle
ice pillow laces
weary eyes
thin hands
manly tourists
%0 each time
parasol and sticks
a breast's parade
raincoats and photos
Chamois-leathers and croquettes
Fried air hot oil
frankfurters and sauerkraut
bier and champagne
lobsters and motor-ships
are passing by going around
and their hands
are wearing the plot
of our destiny.
