Piero de la Francesca,
a Renaissance painter who lived in a city of Sansepolcro mid 1400 did not consider himself a genius. He worked. He made his living. He did it as should be done with curiosity and commitment. There is still bookkeeping left from this time listing exact contracts for paintings, frescos, or banners.
Sansepolcro, Italy and Piero making a living.
Hot, dry summers full of crickets and intriguingly quiet nights, dark ink horizon.
My night window
Shimmers with lights
Electric Tower
Red splashes
State Police
Constant
Yellow glimmer
Through the moving branches
And sounds of the Highway
294
Always
Like the sound of crickets
Early Italian summer of 1431
Piero Della Francesca worked on his candle stick
And complained of
Upcoming deadline and the procession
Corpus Christi
Sansepocro
He had his work
I got mine
