for Connetta Rosa Maria Franconero
Dear sister, daughter, friend,
beloved global village singer
sing to us your Siren song turned good.
'Meine Liebe, ' 'mio caro, ' 'mon coeur'
do not despair the ashes -
the Phoenix will fly again.
Moonlight and star-shine
pale before the renaissant dawn
of covenants made and kept.
So let it always be, “Senza Fine.”
December, 2008
