Girgenti followed Paestum

It might have been the other way around: Paestum may have followed Girgenti.

Nabokov once said that he “did not believe in time”.

What follows is Girgenti [in the form of an epic poem] [it is neither ‘epic’ nor a “poem”]. It is a lost place where you feel time:

Took me back to Paestum

where summer followed

with a blue sky day

a beautiful summer

two girls were singing

there was no war

the Captain died
