A fleeting puff of luminous white- A whisper in the Sun
Upon the road where racers ride
Before the race was won
It marks the way, a guiding light
A sudden bright design
A fleeting perfect line
A Fellini floating puff drifts over Esquiline hill
The bicycles climb
Ah Santa Maria Maggiore
Our lady of August snow unwinds
Oh trail of bikes shinning pink of
Costumed spectators dressed as cows,
Fox & lynx.
Some burned incense, some held flares
Each turn winding down to a new winner
Each day the 3 week spatular narrows a bit thinner
With camera crews giving water
The course of bright sun
Beaming hotter
Day 13 showed fleeting boats
Day 14 gondola gliding by
Until reaching the Alpine peak
Snow glistening as they ride
A finale in Rome ending the strife
A winner awarded a pink bike
Holding a trophy triumphantly high
The little white puff ball
Disappeared amongst the summer sky
