Two Imaginary Lawn Chairs in Chianti

 

Two Imaginary Lawn Chairs in Chianti                                         

 as a day’s sun’s heat reissues from the ground

            Tuscan grass darkens around us

-any sunset minus a confluence of phenomena

is only so glorious

a setting may be renaissance perspective perfect

sky Sistine Blue, genius rainbow colors freshly mixed

and all the world’s glory doesn’t matter

as I take your hand

and see into the promised land of your twilight eyes

 

gilded ages are resolved to dusty beauty like postcards                                                  Chianti wines open pandoralike to mix with sky

they pour single notes, mix with your voice

and nameless colors elongate - infinite, articulate

 

time stops, time starts, time forgets -

throw away your scorecard of indifference

                                   and rate the sunshine

faraway blooming over rolled Etruscan hills

                 in the movement of subtle sensation

 

nothing but hills of fading light soon            and

without you I lean dreamless,  foreign,  dimmed

shoulder to a crumbling wall                  

                                               where leaves fall
