Yolanda of Rome

i stood over looking the general view of the bath of caracalla evading sudatorium seduction the church of st. cesarea in palatio captured my thoughts rather quickly i entered sarcphagus of lucius scipio barbatus dazed i was gently lifted hovering above columbarium of villa codini ah my human sufferage unleashed near the arch of drusus i found myself kneeling beyond the gate of st. sebastian how i'd remembered the findings of the church of domine quo vadis welcoming of monks settled deeply within catacombs of st. callistus the fine chapel of cornelius the bishop winks at the sight of cecilia's remains hisses of trickery a covenant maderno's manner lessons and arrows embedded amids sebastians sculpture ravished by greif for giorgetti's finali catacombs and tombs surrounding my morbid energy force abruptly backing right into circus of mexentius shouting metella metella open the appian way seneca's revealed the tower of selce in ruins
