The fourth sequence in Dante’s Heaven is called ‘Love is a Babe’, a sequence of poems around Beatrice’s voice.
Someone kissed me
Someone kissed me ―
Is it blood or lipstick
on my cheek?
Was it a thought
brushed past me
or a moth’s wing
but there, those scarlet stains
on my skin, my white dress.
I walk the Lungarno
near the Ponte Sante Trinit
