Savannah’s Sky
Francesco Capussela
Savannah’s sky over the deaf forest
shines where your high cascade shape
digs the hoarfrost. Breathe in the West.
Be waking air for oceans. Shake ‘em
with quiet laughter, take back to the
seabeds of the prophet planet the
rediscovered coral reefs. Paint with
those colors and adorn your shoulders
with the deep blue of cathedral ceilings.
Sunrays caress you as spokes of a vintage bicycle twirling around your paleness. Wind survivors, your tired hair wouldn't mind my touch even after a thousand shampoos and rough pony tails. And how could I not through my feeble memory aid, sand under high noon, rethread your pretzel braids?
No more blush on you nor diadems of thoughts, only vacant space over our irony’s hotel doors.
My affection still oak seed beneath my knees,
your memory swan lake among these graves,
my tears ajar. Tender iridescence upon you,
red oleander touch left on the cold old stone.
