(dedicato: SIRIANA; bella-Sorella, Modica-Sicily)


!) ...After the FESTA:

After the Festa, Sciacca-city, Poets commit ed - not suicide!  - but WORDS, VERBS, too?
BARKEEPS counted profits; Bella-Donna's hung UP that dress and kicked off "dem spangled shoes"?
Monks and Priests (Machiavellian) FLAYED their Conscience - something to do? -  for Festa temptations? GIGGoloes, chiseled updated Love-Numbers on their rotting bedsteads; usual "Carnies" sorted through un-sold trinkets (made in China) and the Sciacca fishermen too, all told, made ease with their FEET: extrra Virgin Olivia Oil, the procession of the Virgin Mary, barefoot?
And now? The tourists, the multitudes, scattered to the Mistral, some, Sirocco? I, for one, fell down drunk on my piccolo casa stairway, 2 RAGAZZI fell in love, later to have kids, the Festa's last HUZZAHS? The "Trash-Troops" (god bless'em) grind ed through, through Medieval streets, shunting, wheezing, ejaculating, snorting?
After the Festa, 100 barefoot fisherman carrying a Madonna, and ALL of the above,  I slept FOREVER secure in my Soul... that Life would go on forever.

2)...Only

Only the Love that U crave, personified, will? Only the Kiss that U give, un-abashed, will ever tell the truth? And ONLY the teeming-torrent of Humanity, perhaps, just once, gives you the shadow, a shade of doubt? A sign excreted, there goes your electric Mind?... But then, there's always a joke?
-Get ya kicks on Route 66!
ONLY the Love, personified, Will...


3) "GROOVIN'"

Groovin, on a sunny afternoon!
REELIN!" -Couldn't wait for da Moon.
-this side of  Paradise;
When U whispered: "I love U."

Groovin', on a lazy weekend,
Friday late, till Saturday morning
under dat blood-red-grapefruit Moon;
when U whispered: "I love U."

GROOVIN', love  passed away and gone?
HUMMIN'! -That same ol' Song!
It's not the years gone by, but DAT DANG ECHO
in eternity when U whispered:
"I love you."

Groovin', on a sunny afternoon;
reelin', -hopin' to see U soon?
-this side of Paradise
when U whispered:
"I love U..."
