High Mass Easter Sunday at the Duomo
	   Miserére mei, Deus, 
		 secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam
Bread and wine
The body and blood of Christ
White doves in the sky
Sandro Botticelli in the studio
Working on Primavera
The delicate hand
Painting the flowers in the mouth of Chloris
Fioretta Gorini 
She cuts the sweet wisteria
For the child she carried eight months
Bells ringing in the towers
Watch the crowd surge
Like the wind in the long grass
Shudder then pull back
The dead man 
Blood on the ground
Assassin fleeing the people.
