[New-Poetry] 1966

[Anny Ballardini]

for the occasion I gave a date to this short pOm just put together:

1966

  the black houses of the small villages in Italy

  most fearful at night

  used to growl and crouch hiss and screech

  with holes and eyes in most unseen sites

  they talked of hell

  of poisoned fruits of sins 

  of those who were damned

   

  they've painted them white now

  enlarged attached views

  screened TV's show gluing wishes

  set nets to catch

   

  they anyhow remain

  the black fearful houses

  with burning deeds

  ready to grasp hell





  I was first sent to Italy from New York when I was ten to my grandparents' (on my mother's side) and a spinster aunt -there were trips before but we were together - this time I was on my own. That is what I saw, and this is what I see.
