Raining on, ‘Our Lady of Pompeii’
feast-day,
bunting of cardinal colors,
muted by dull gray day.
Umbrellas bobbing up-and-down,
like waves above my head.
Veering from side-to-side to avoid
collision with others so armed.
Black umbrellas add a
somber tone to the day.
An Ingmar Bergman scene,
an ebony tumult.
Multi-colored umbrellas,
add a Fellini touch.
Jetsam and flotsam,
on an undulating sea.
If Our Lady of Pompeii,
looked down on this vision,
she surely would smile.
Umbrage rendered as homage.
Bouna Festa!
