She dries her eyes.

“If you cannot make a match

with Signore Bembo,

I may have to send you to the convent.”

MY SISTER, MY CAPTAIN

Giovanna hums softly a tune

that sounds smooth and pleasant

as golden brocade.

I wish for it never to end.

“I know a little of Signore Bembo;

he is related to the Doge.

An older man who should have

married long ago and is a bit

of an embarrassment to his family,

and that is why we have a chance

to make this alliance,”

she says after morning meal.

“I have met his sister.

She is odd, wears her hair

plaited three ways and very tightly.

And she speaks

out of the side of her mouth,

but her brother adores her.”

Vanna cannot even drink her coffee

she is so eager to prepare

for our suitor.

She says nothing about

my running off

to see Luca.
