Poets and Poems - Raffael de Gruttola


pen and ink drawing

from an open window
a woman
watches the world
of butterflies
transparent waves
of sun and air
in her gaze
a certain wistfulness

the landscapes
change
the soil is still
deep red
on the cement walls
staid epitaphs--

from her brush
black paint
drips...
from her lips
the memories
that mix
today with yesterday
trees with trees
and an occasional song
