Autumn In Tuscany

nestled in the hills
in the midst of Tuscany
following an aged man
down a well beaten path
hurtling puddles, climbing hills
amongst emancipative beauty
in the cool autumn air
intimately knowing the harvest
ravaging the vine
of its abundant crop
selecting luscious bunches
to be fermented, morphed
sold as fine wine

Harvesting Grapes

My Closet

With the exception of four t-shirts
this is everything, I have. I hope it
is enough. I must say it has been
rather cold lately.

Firenze

sights, sounds, swirling around
take a breath, look at ground
here, there, where do i stare
buildings of beauty everywhere
what is this, what is that
could this be where DaVinci sat
slowing, stopping, standing still
this moment seems so surreal
the mountains and Florence envelope me
I'm surrounded by timeless history
in the home of great intellectual
art music history and literature rule
take a breath, raise a foot
stroll along on their soot.

Music in Florence

Big Band Jam

I never could have imagined listening to big band music, next to a naked statue of David in Italy, but it happened.
