Two sisters lean to whisper
on the bench that throws their murmurs
to and fro along the limestone
that encloses their visages.
Leaning in towards confidances
that they shared once in a lifetime
that no longer echoes true;
all their whispering is through.

Yeah, cool. I'll buy it for a dollar! I reckon it could pass for a sonetto rispetto.
