TODAY’S SKY
 
belongs to Tiepolo. A wisp of a man now with nicotine-stained teeth
and wine-soaked breath, he lives alone in a white house with blue windows
and a wide view across the water. His angels of old have long since flown,
yet still he paints and scumbles, fusses beneath his frescoed dome.
 
Some mornings, a flock of whisper-thin sparrows hovers and on warmer days
the bumblebees visit. He says it’s the blue they like which is reason enough
to keep his windows open. Even when he forgets, the bumblebees find
a crack and make their way in, stripe his house yellow and black.
 
They don’t stay long, he insists, just long enough to tap dance on my walls
and sills, 
resting awhile on my purple cushions and sometimes
on the medieval throne ​in the hallway.
