While crows are brooding over the fatality of leap years

And gulls wait in the spotlight

The forum of Trajan unfolds in the sun

And treats for the sick souls

Our favourite rag doll

The Magnetic Fields - Andrew in Drag by MergeRecords

Not often seen art, hidden from the crowds

Uncover the sibyls

Santa Maria della Pace

Perusing at the hidden Raphael's fresco

Santa Maria della Pace

Steal a peek inside Santa Maria della Pace

Let's use the hidden entrance to the secluded chapel

And we still make do with comfort food

Tourte Lorraine à la viande

The cats keeping well away from the ice

And the fairies sick from the cold

And the seats were cold

Although the vines weren't happy

But soon blinded us in white

The week started in the dark

Robust treats are our only support

And the cats have all but disappeared too

Although light is smothered under a frigid cushion

But all isn't dead yet

Secret paths are built from debacle

And incantations are not changing anything

Sometimes you wake up and your world has disappeared

Thank goodness for weekend baking

The local Addams family is not exactly welcoming

And seats are deserted

Yet alms boxes are fading away

Churches, temples, all want their share of sky
