12. via sacra by Peter Humphreysstanding
on the
capitoline
hill
she wonders
if their
love will
still
be strong
when miles
draw them
apart
standing on
the
capitoline
hill
he wonders
if his
heart
can take
the pain
and strain
that being
apart
will bring
standing on
the
capitoline hill
they look
down upon
remains of
worlds
that stood
those tests
and more
much more
O so much more
standing
on
the
capitoline
hill
he
picks
a
flower
for
her
hair
they
walk
their
way
once
more
