Arietta

.
.
...across Green Street from Murphy's Pub...
.
.
.
...in the front of an art gallery...
.
.
.
...an elderly woman says to me...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...she knew an artist in her gallery...
.
.
.
...who had small feet and skin of parchment...
.
.
.
...so white that when he enjoyed a drink...
.
.
.
...you could see his cheeks and nose...
.
.
.
.
.
...glow an autumn red...
.
.
.
...that would shine a whole November through...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...and he died one March evening...
.
.
.
...while counting the riches on his dining table...
.
.
.
...with a smile wider than you could ever see....
.
.
...just comes to show you...
.
.
.
.
.
.
...scattering is easier than gathering...
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
...so, my child...
.
.
.
.
.
...be there with the day...
.
.
.
.
.
...and be gone...
.
.
.
.
.
...with the day...
.
.
.
.
.
...so sow early and mow early...
.
.
.
.
.
.
