Author's note: I wrote this poem in Naples, near what was to be my father's death bed. Windless days, night's heat; motorcars stench; and the pain the pain of it all. He shouldn't know that he was to die; to the very end, death wasn't said once. Lest he understood, I wrote in English. [From Collected Poems]
