Concerti Psalms for the Pilgrimage
|
Venezia
I hear deep bell sounds
from the Renaissance tower
morning announcements
arrive in waves
embrace me low
surround me deep.
A duet begins
to shape this early light
mingled with lapping
pushing
surging
waves in the lagoon.
Polished black boats are tied
to terra cotta stone piers
covered by slippery gray mists
An unrelenting shrill voice
somewhere
out of view
soars over
aqua cleansing waters.
Four Chinese women pause
form a circle
their heads lean back
mouths open wide as they laugh
at fat pigeons taking staccato strides
The thin man in green cotton pants nods
as he sweeps away the debris
from the all-night celebration
his long flexible broom
scrapes away trash and fireworks
scattering them into the heavens.
The scratching of his broom
mingles with the chorus
of bells, birds, water,
women's chatter
and the movement of my hand
as I write in this journal.
It is the morning after
Redentore Festival
once again
the Redeemer's fireworks
have saved us from the plague.
It has now been 400 years-
his sparks have kept us safe.
Bon Giorno!
Bon Giorno!

Another Dream
Dreaming with my eyes closed
alert to sounds around me-
I wonder about the difference
awake or asleep
and how can I know
which one is now?
Paintings are born
when the dreamer
reports to work
on time.

A Memory Within a Memory
The unfolding
of a story-
marks
gouged in sand and stone
washed up on barren beaches
reaching upward
across time
and scattered
among rumors.
