St Viton and the Syrian Diaspora: Google Translates...

Did the wind mind and
did your daughters of the sea
pay for the grapes left over from this
invasion or that - bombing campaign is too harsh
a beauty to comprehend - occupation?

Did your fully trained sales agents have literally years of experience
when you dished out the kalashnikovs from the back of your Renault Traffics and Humbies?

Did the questions that never got asked matter to any of your descendants
when we tasted the unintended bonus of wine over centuries
of blue sea and mafia movies?

Oh, Sicily, Alex Polizzi is so POETIC...
and how she loves your ceramics.
Go to the north western tip and its traditional fishing villages

Still African. One road in and one road out.
Cous cous everywhere.

Garlic, onion Cinnamon and flakes of local fish -

utterly delicious St Viton.

No Syrian refugees were mentioned in the making of this poem.
