Gianicolo

by Peter Humphreys

at last
I find the right path
often the walls
have defied me
like the French

Garibaldi
is still there
as I remember
but no blood
and mayhem now
just juniper trees
a carpet of cones
December
azure skies

looking across
the domes
and spires
I watch
the city
so quiet
from here

further on
the wooded hills
of Latium
frame the plain
the city
the sea
to which
the Tiber
flows
relentlessly

I've enjoyed traveling with you lately, Peter. I appreciate going to sites online to see where you are at the moment. There is nostalgia and new discoveries in your writing. Thank you.
