Three Couples at Trieste Stazione

Where Is It?

<div class="line">You went away and left me here alone,</div>
<div class="line">and, yes, some tension rose between the two</div>
<div class="line">of us, and you declined to take my phone</div>
<div class="line">calls when I tried to ascertain your true</div>
<div class="line">intent, your state of mind, and whereabouts.</div>
<div class="line">I hoped you’d know my love is genuine,</div>
<div class="line">and I would wait. I hoped you’d have no doubts</div>
<div class="line">about the bonds between your heart and mine.</div>
<div></div>
<div class="line">Your postcard came today. I found it tucked</div>
<div class="line">between some bills and all the ads. I might</div>
<div class="line">have easily mistakenly just chucked</div>
<div class="line">it in the trash, but luckily the sight</div>
<div class="line">of bridges caught my eye. “<span style="font-style: italic;">Mon Cher</span>,” you wrote,</div>
<div class="line">and then I read and read and read your note.</div>
