Eleventh Entry (Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy), Coronavirus Poetry Diary
the cathedral
silhouetted against gray sky
an old man
reads through ten full pages
of obituaries
Added: Twelfth Entry (Siena, Central Italy):
moonlight
floods empty alleys ...
one Italian
singing to another
on Juliet balconies
Note: The following poem is the tenth entry (Oshawa, ON, Canada):
nursing home silhouette
I air high-five my old friend
at the window

shades of gray
seen from my attic window
shelter in place
