Tourist Trap
I
stopped
and viewed,
the skyline
of Vesuvius.
Street dust settled on my
sandals.

The Recliner
I
felt,
viewing
on my back:
how ridiculous!
this upturned fly on the
ceiling.

The Ancient of Ways
We
walked
the stone
path. Before
and behind us, stretch
these random white trails of
lichen.
