The Contessa’s Secret by Catharine Amato: Aamora Project Secret

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.
