ROMA

























Neglected corners are a haven
from the great encroaching din,
in morning gardens groomed and tidied
for the guest.























To this neglected garden
the cat will come to yowl










Far beneath the ancient wall
are hidden rooms that love oblivion












We feel the fiery stare,
the dwelling glance,
the one we see at every turn






Presiding extemporaneous over all
dear Livia and her brooding seed
look down from high atop
the lush abiding Palatine
where Caesars dwell.

ONCE UPON A TIME...
 

 
 
 
Ice-blue skies above the lawn,  
sunwashed hooded mummers dressed
in orange and black, against the cold
the mocking dead stream by.
Barren trees lift sugared storm clouds.
Push and smile!  and who’s on bullhorn?
Just the press all caged in placards:
HAIRSTYLISTS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE.
VETERANS FOR ONE MORE CHANCE:
 
someone sings the red-white-blues.
