Mrs. Yolanda Nicholsen Poet Masnavi

Mason Vincentino

The vastness of it all mi
ancestors the shores of 
pastel climbing beneath 
my feet essence of Veneto 
the wildness of black cherries 
bluntness of plums strings 
of grapes opened just so 
found behind a glass of 
Merlot singing lemoncello 
crowding tastes buds through 
rows of lemon trees crawling 
olive branches sweeping the 
stone ways a covenant of mi 
Nonna dancing throughout 
Rome mi ancestors Mason 
Veneto builders an yet 
cemeteries where religious 
statues buildings tombstones 
are crafted by the blood 
of my ancestors hands
all over Italy the vastness 
of it all remembering 
mi Nonna remembering Rome
