It is a town of sorts
with a name
famous really
for a movie made there
It used to be
most summer days
where the foggy mists
wrapped cypress into obscurity
rather lonely
isolated down this or that narrow country road
There along the fabled coast highway
a tower of bells stands as a monument
an artist thought to honor a young life lost
a loss that gave back life
through pieces of living self
to other people
even to another child and her children
otherwise never to have been born
There is a sign
it mentions that highwaymen took that boy in Italy
song of the bells brings voice and melody to the transformative acts that followed upon tragedy
Here is proof
all was not lost
a sculptural telling
all we are eventually
is the sound of our once being
clanging of bells now heard
now silent
