Day 12

Rionero Turns Two Hundred

It’s their bicentennial they enthuse
When I try to discover
Why fireworks go off
Almost every single night

Day 9

Rionero’s Church Bells

Waiting to be fetched
From the train stazione
We are blessed
By a church nearby

Not only do the bells
Chime – a regular
Occurrence here
They peal an actual
Tune …

Day 8

I Think I Can, I Think I Can


A two-car train strains
To make the mountain;
I feel surreally isolated
As if in a scene from
“Out of Africa”
And the words,
“I had a farm in Rionero”
Flit, unbidden to my mind
