Maria Callas sings "Casta Diva" (Bellini: Norma, Act 1)

memories

of two sweet old people

 refugees from a war torn continent

who appreciated everything they had

which in material terms was not much

 listening to this on a 78 recording

 my dear grandparents

Sunday Muse #144


 you and i

dear one

have not talked in a while

my wise ole owl feathers

are a little ruffled

the sky is black

signs of

an approaching storm

there is something lurking

behind me

in the yellow grass

that's the thing

with having 

eyes in the back of your head
