Lignano Pineta by night, December
In these now familiar journeys, 
I could still find a Teutonic order, the asphalt, 
the lollypop colours of plaster, 
the double-glazed portholes in the walls. 
Everything like paint by the darkness. 
And then, here it is: the wet-dock 
that opens up like a moon, suspended, 
pierced by lights never seen before, that for a second surprised me, taking my breath.
