The Contessa’s Secret by Catharine Amato

The days go by in an ancient Italian town

And perhaps only the tourists notice

An old lady sitting on the steps of a monument.

To the locals, she’s just part of the scenery.

Her worldly possessions in plastic bags at her feet,

Her gaze fixed on the knife in her hand,

A poor old lady eating an apple,

Perhaps donated by a kindly grocer.

She is known as “The Contessa”.

No one knows why.

She has a secret.

She is the only one left who knows,

And she has her knife ready,

And it’s not for an apple.
