Hooded Sweatshirt DaysToday the lake glimmered like our hometownHooded Sweatshirt Days
after a downpour:
grey and morose and porous and wet
the way only waters smooth swirling
is wet.
You went down to the dock,
just to lean against
the railing, just to taste the ocean as it blew in from the coast.
When we were kids, you called these days hooded sweatshirt days because you had to tug the long sleeves
tight around your wrists.
I followed you today to make sure
the water was not
too beautiful
or too deep.
After all


FlorenceAfter an entire day of Raphael and Botticelli,Florence
Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo,
After eating too much gelato and photographing the river from the Ponte Vecchio,
We stopped
and sat down
on the cobblestones worn smooth by centuries of passing feet.
Shadowed by the Uffizi Gallery,
a lone guitarist poured chords
across the piatzza,
spilling his voice to the city squares opposite side.
