Metaphors of a Magnifico

Twenty men crossing a bridge,
Into a village,
Are twenty men crossing twenty bridges,
Into twenty villages,
Or one man
Crossing a single bridge into a village.


This is old song
That will not declare itself .
 .
 .


Twenty men crossing a bridge,
Into a village,
Are
Twenty men crossing a bridge
Into a village.


That will not declare itself
Yet is certain as meaning .
 .
 .


The boots of the men clump
On the boards of the bridge.

The first white wall of the village
Rises through fruit-trees.

Of what was it I was thinking?
So the meaning escapes.


The first white wall of the village .
 .
 .

The fruit-trees .
