The Lovers of Modena

Disturbed

When a scream was released
sixteen hundred
years ago, but heard only
yesterday ..
Their secret was out in seconds
even before
all the rumours got underway
and it spread
like a wildfire, unchecked far
and wide ..
Tho’ until a date, place and number
were all duly
assigned .. they were nothing
but history and
all their bones were taken away ..
 Had it not been
for a freak of an accident tho’
They might well
have laid there forever, in their
permanent
and loving embrace, frozen
in time ..
With a reason for their untimely
demise, both
conveniently and reverently denied ..
