Cloudburst of God
Sep 27, 2022
Trieste is a Fante novel.
A disdained parking ticket
That floats down a gutter
During a 3:00 cloudburst of God.
Downtrodden grey clouds floating over the desperate Sierra’s.
An empty blue milk crate that prays for redemption.
“People have died for less,”
Says the grey-haired Thomas,
Chronicle tucked under arm,
Still grieving that the Sporting Green
Isn’t green anymore.
