Yellow Smoke Makes Hazy Home

29 Apr 2006 | Poetry

Wish-washy Italian alleys collaborate.
create this North-corner apartment.

Leaving room for kitchen and bath
they trash walls between rooms.

Pulled ceilings partially fail to reveal beams above

         We can't make this work.

Forcing strips of streets inward
they pull this top-floor too short to the North –
        leaving incidental balconies above East and West (Italian St.)

Cobblestones convince an old Juniper to get in
on this fun to cool the spatial expanse inside.

There's an Italian lack-of-purity here.
The Streets won't let alone.
Yellow smoke makes hazy home.
Collaboration beneath the Juniperian Headstone.
