When in Rome -- a freewrite


 





















Another scribble...



When in Rome

 

lightning does strike once

in a while

think of Picasso

or the dog loping

through layers of gold leaves –

that was a real hit,

the magic poker chip –

there’s a statue weeping in the rain

in Italy. Here

we have the electric

blue of your dress,

two potted white flowers

on a porch

October – everyone

passing by imagining

their fragrance and holding 

those blossoms

like a bride
