A Day Of Rain
This afternoon scents of burning
leaves dampened by steady rain
and strong tobacco smoked by
the digger of graves, unpicked
grapes and damp olive trees
This afternoon sees close shut
windows, eternally grieving old
women in black praying to a God
that has done them no favours,
candle light and a tired padre.
It sees a funeral cortege like a flock
of ravens ponderously walking to
the cemetery where five more holes
gapes toothless to the sky; this is not
a good season for the elderly.
