Chickens in Bevagna

You can count chickens in Bevagna.
A sick kitten called to me from the field
by the old stone bridge, and I sat with her,
my heat and time the only gifts she could take.
But chickens wobble on in any language,
blissfully ignorant of tourists, lost
in the search for gold under autumn leaves.
Never the stars of the painting but always
the perfect context clues, they own
the art of subtle scenery.
