'sweet Idleness' the Dolce Niente
futility
mere breath
ephemeral
short-lived
for a moment
a
rhetorical gesture
faltering vapour
palmfuls of mist
in
pointless folly
literally deluded
a silent
stillness
yielding daydreams
illusions delusions
around &upward
deliberations
utterances
of what might have been
mishaps
moods
tedium
sloth idleness
watching the wind
