Mamma Mia

Don Pesavento

Put aside sin and forgiveness
and have spaghetti with me.
You be Lady and I’ll be Tramp,
we can even share a piece;
our ears, tickled by accordion
fingers playing a little off-key,
and in each other’s eyes,
we’ll chase butterflies that fly
like tiny, blue mandolin notes,
carried away by a summer wind,
and after we order tiramisu
I’ll tell you again, how much
I love you,
bellissima belladonna mia
with your eyes of bluebird rain
hair of almond-forest echoes
lips of red music
hips of storm-swept willows
calves of luscious pears
hands of flamenco castanets
smile of ocean lullabies;
and I’ll replace your collar
with this gold-locket corazon,
and be your Valentine
when all other hearts
are broken in two.
