If U look closely in one of the mirrors below,
U may glimpse the games being played outside.

Short field
Long ride

Train track
Seat back

In their stead, one of our all-time favorites
From the Calder wing of the permanent collection:

Look what they’ve done to the neighborhood

When imagine what, to our surprise,
Was taking place before our very eyes:

Cracks everywhere, after the quake

Were being restored for the visual arts
With mirrors and cloth playing their parts:

Close up
Artist view

About the time our Italian breaks down
He kindly directs us around to the back.

In Museo Carandente at an old familiar Palazzo:

Palazzo Collicola Arti Visive Spoleto
Exhibits (Mostre)

Yesterday’s reopening, at least, was on house money.

An Earlier Study

We know, exactly, the remembered place
On the specific night in the specific year
When, ahead of our annual reservations (as usual),
Two perfect strangers passed before the shutter
As two old friends sat on the same Piazza bench
Like bookends, studying the lights as they played
Against the ancient buildings in the square.

At a different angle from the watercolor

What Rebecca said about the tall Italian drink
In the skin-tight jeans and thigh-high heels,
Who stood casually talking to the city workers,
Would have gotten me in a whole lot of trouble
Had those words ever crossed my mind’s threshold:

I bet those men
Will pick up her trash
Anytime she asks.

Sounds like Godot; looks like Godard?
(Not that I recall the New Wave look.)

Words and sentiments we share:
Most like an arch, this marriage.

My all-time favorite line of verse.
For reasons private and poetic.

Much like each year, the bridge
Between September’s passing,

That spans the day we celebrate.
Close and easy suit. Still at 8:00?
