Awake to the sound of snores, and cocks crowing.
go to balcony, see that there is light outside, and the
sound of a tractor, and the sound of stones or bricks
being stacked, and italian workers shouting at each
other. It is monday, and the people have started to work early
to avoid the sun later.
The sky is tall blue on account of the haze. And the
tractor engine starts again, after alda arnvederci have
been exchanged all round.
A morning of sounds, and the tips
of many of the trees
are turning brown already.
Cocks crow and birds twitter
And now the Italians are all calling' 'ciao'.
