Immortal Florence

Dante and Michelangelo 
You were here; 
Brunelleschi, Donatello, 
Savonarola, the Medici, 
Machiavelli, Ghiberti, 
Leonardo da Vinci—
All left their mark; 
But none is so vividly present 
As the Florentine dogs 
As I walk these ancient streets. 
Looking steadily down.

—Corbin Scott Carnell
