This ancient mountain town
is a great and lovely climb
back to simple ways
so good for the heart
visitors are easily distracted by an insatiable greed
for deep red wines
all times of the day
those wretched broken cobbles threaten
church bells, tender pets,
contented faces
turn my head
spike heels strike like flint
that might twist an ankle
set a fire
colorful earthenware
bands of gold
adornment strung from doorways like prayer flags
