Week 3 – Image 3

 

Legends Rewritten

 

Ginger cats orange as egg yolks

Prowl the night inspecting facades

Crushed by wind, rain and time.

Broken vines of stone, of wisteria,

Reflect glimmers of moonlight to

Reveal oozing pocked faces, scarred,

Healing distressed like the ancient walls

That loom in the shadows of Monteluco.

Window boxes strategically undisturbed

As Ginger maneuvers into position

To pounce smoky rivals, rewriting

Legends like the recycled granite

In the walls surrounding Spoleto.
