Burano, Italy

The weathered paint beats brilliant blue,
curving lanes winding through
Burano.  Innate Italian artistry
brushes flowerpots and foliage
into corners with a careless
confidence, like an arabesque
appearing effortless after years
of preparation. Even the cracks
in the colors beguile like ripped
hosiery, a widely blinked smile,
a lie you choose to believe.
