limano
a wooden door abandoned for a horse barn built of stone a courtyard colored with wild flowers sitting all alone an aging calico creeps by pursuing phantom mice the baker's wife throws open shutters to fill the air with spice connected stone a wall of brick create the mountain roads roads carved from apuane ridges for mule cart heavy loads the roads lead up from serchio's bed - the best stones to be found stones fallen from a higher place before resting on wet ground beneath the church bells you may find cool water running clean out from a spout of aging brass a liquid cool serene tucked behind a soaring tower curved walls from granite born a tunnel of arches sun and shadow a cool breeze in the 'morn cool breeze hints of batter mixed from ground chestnuts flour necci cooked on ferri baked for the lunchtime hour the only sound for careful ears that search the mountain air a distant peel a child's laughter from a traveling fair
