Ancient Air: A Stony Sestina, Doubled in Time

Someone left a rose on Dante's stone. The woman who keeps his grounds speaks, as if remembering a quirky neighbor who died last year. Old quiet heart of an empire, Ravenna. Twenty years ago I saw slides of the blue-and-gold mosaics, heard the professor say, " San Vitale, Galla Placidia, Theodora, Justinian." Flashes in the dark, Galla Placidia's heaven-blue dome, the wild touch of the east on Italian stone. I thought I must go to Ravenna. Christ in a field of gold and water, like some trick the artist worked with memory: ...
