Il giardino dei Finzi-Continis

El male rachamin

A lamentation for the dead

their departure from the gardens is their removal from existence

a threnody for the Jews of Ferrara rings out across

the rooftops and red haze swirls aloft to a different sky

Micol and Alberto are spectators at their own eternity and see

a burning of the garden

all of it
