Jo Going

La Sicilia   Late and still I come again, shaking olives from trees, the pomegranates, oranges, the lemons.   Over the island, a lingering mist; ghosts in the ruins take off their sandles and in silence, wait.   Late and still again I come, wind through the garden, opening the gate where a black dog barks.   Over the stones, a temple, a mosque, now church, now shrine, for god and gods, goddesses, and I.   I am the wind in the branches, the voice in the stones, the seed in the fruit, the cry of the child, late and still.
