Linda Saccoccio: Ancient Present
Tuesday, February 7, 2012 at 9:11AM 
Ancient Present
Postures curved
aching, troubled angles
Inner tombs
Mirrored walls
Arches exquisite for fine extravagances
Crowds of tourists
European landmarks
Versailles or St. Peter’s or…
Voices and bodies that labored
Laborers who caretake and visit
General public in royal palaces
Fine, the line between
Interior and exterior
An elder hunched, slowly
Walks home in the countryside
Thriving scrub and flora
Lift souls
Above their woes
Contained in a space
Grief, madness, and transcendence
(Linda Saccoccio, 2010)
