Rainy Naples

Robak

Night’s darkness lingers over narrow streets—
I watch a lonely crow observe the scene.
He sits upon a statute near a church
And gazes like a boy absorbed in dreams.

And soon the streets begin to pulse like mirrors,
Reflecting back their image of the sky.

And raindrops tiptoe down my windowpane.
They walk with me through fits of endless slumber.
