Arrivederci, Roma

When I hear “Arrivederci, Roma”
I memorise our old records
An old turntable and a radio
I would sit for hours listening
In the dark room
I memorise my dear old parents
Dad, forcing his way through the corpses
In besieged Leningrad
Mum, a schoolgirl,  waltzing away
From German bombs in Rostov-on-Don
And I cry…
