16. 

Nights in Umbria

Your shoes were in tatters and you were sick

An angel took you home and you slept for three days 

She fed you chicken broth and toast 

The next day she wasn't there 

Not the next day 

You ate what you found in the cupboard 

And called your uncle from the phone 

He wired you money and you left a note and 

Twenty dollars

You left Umbria on a train and never went back
