when beacon beckons

IMG_2392IMG_2382

bricks that track from our toes to the sky
pave sweet grated pathways
in their burnt, rusty red

IMG_2381

those eager vines that rush more than crawl
flood every fiery facade
in a lush twisting green

Image-1

steeped in history, every crevice speaks
the soothing wordless soliloquy
of gaslit alleys and sun drenched squares

inside ivory tiles surround
eighteen caged white bulbs glow and
baked blonde treats tarte-in and pop over
IMG_2397IMG_2393
out on and in corners under churches
electric hand on my cheek
your warmth connects, arrests and protects

IMG_2395

hebrew names that start with f
evade the soundtrack of the park

while mosaic half shells made of wood
watch our lazy outdoor naps

IMG_2377

fuzzy paintings drinks and walls
follow from the Hill to Hanover
stooped pizza breaks buzz us
and St. Anthony’s loud feast parades down the streetIMG_2394

a new Hill to Watch
another urban mountain to climb
a gold Beacon guides our steps
up up away in and together so we rise.

    • Thanks, Mahallia! Providence will forever be my favorite and the most beautiful, but this is actually Boston…buuuuuut it’s just a quick train ride away if you do decide to visit Providence (which I fully support!!!) xo
