is this Italy?
pine trees, clear sky, sickle moon?
yucca's frost needles

n.b. Come, take me away from here! To Italy for spring showers, steaming pavements and warmth of the morning sun.

sprinkled stardust
dissolves into tapestry of night

I turned east-by-south-east toward the morning Sun and let its light pour onto my face.
With my essential shopping done and due to return indoors, I chose to stand, eyes closed, just for that moment to savour the un-closeted warmth. It was a good moment after all that has come before.

I sat on the stones
In warm air
Spray on my face
Sea air in my lungs
Warmth of Sun on my back
I sat on the stones
Nothing more than this
