Past Served Al Fresco

Bologna is the color

of its mother

pasta, ragù:

sienna,

simmered scarlet,

because Siena is another shade,

another train,

and Bologna’s palette

is its palate

on tongues

and feet

and souls who seek.

But when I tell him

how lucky he is to have seen the break

of dawn over the loveliest islands in the world,

he smiles at the memory, saying that when the sun rose,

the day was no longer young for them.

-South Seas, Cesare Pavese
