Capri
roofless cubes, spidery with wire,
cakes of azure and enzian,
above at the Villa San Michele
Rilke smiles down at the broken beaches,
coves of defiant waves, compacted sea
Pompeii
a chessboard of honest stones
open to a sky of hushed shouts;
we huddle in a boned frame
of another life, a stopped day
Napoli
warm and secret, olive eyed
an infinite beauty makes a new face
as we gaze as apes from a bus;
an act of moment
