Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/ "The Falcon." (The Road to Palermo)


(Dedicato: Famiglia Falcone)


.....On the righteous road to Palermo where, sooner or later, an "AFFIFFI" (a murder) will SPLAY your sad Ass into an UN-shaven crumple, wept over, only by the FEW (No Spitfire Pilots)...?

On the righteous road to Palermo, U TRAMP determined, UPROOTED by Faith? A Family? A Tomorrow? A Tomorrow for the BAMBINI; on the righteous road to Palermo?... U just married off the first kid, your daughter. "This is Lucretia..... My Daughter... (to the groom) I don't like you.  I don't like your FAMILY; but for Lucretia? I kiss U."

And a different VIEW drains from your thin blood? YESTERDAY is not today ...Tomorrow will not come...SENOR!!!...in your mind or in your home: benvenuto: behind a painted smile: " I will welcome you: YES: You, please  stay? ...I will NOT disgrace my fathers, their fathers and their fathers NOBILITY....A glass of Wine?"

....that twirls, twirls, that twirls into a furnace, a cauldron, a Mount Etna. An eternity of SMOKE!...?

On the road to Palermo, you know,  HISTORY, bad things have gone down; just where the Cash is stashed, bodies buried, who is INSANE with grief... and who are  the SOUL-LESS; the ones who should be "put down"? And you decide, Fankula Omerta!:  "I will testify to Prosecutor Falcone.. I believe HE IS, he IS our Country's Future!?"...

"I will step out from the Darkness. I will step out into the Light!"...

.On the road to Palermo, happy thoughts of 3 snotty nosed kids. Bella wearing her Turquoise head scarf, grand-mama, always dressed for a funeral. Last glimpse at the CASA.  ON THE ROAD TO PALERMO :

"Gotta fix that god damn CASA  ROOF! East Side. Always, the East side!?... New tiles from Uncle Luigi, Nicola, Giuseppe can lend a hand?"
On the righteous road to Palermo, 20 kilometers out of town, a SHOT rang out!

No sheep stirred. Mountain goats bumbled, no Tourists, no eye witnesses; NO GOD!!!???
But up above, a FALCON, eyes so sharp, and talons, worthy
to WRENCH  the Evil from  Man...Circling.

Some decent SENOR came along. An ARTIST,  a breath of Fresh air. ON THE ROAD from PALERMO,
(Yakking to the local Radio Station 'bout his "singular" Life: Saying: " I don't paint Chairs, or Houses. I am like TURNER: I paint LIGHT!? "...and then, elaborated::
"I don't got much: I got 3 snotty nosed kids. A Bella in a Turquoise head scarf, and a Grand Mama...who always dresses for a funereal...but I'm a Painter!!"

.And the Sicilian, land of Man,  proudly advances... on the road to Palermo.
