Sara Menefee/ Poem




paglia




paglia one of the few words I picked up in Italy




Battipaglia beat-straw a little town we read in in the south






the poor man who plays Christ in Pasolini's film of the passion drops
dead under the brutal sun




having gotten his fill at last of ravioli




that some peasant-heretic once said would someday fall from the sky
