ITALIAN POEM Blessing “Benedizione” written by Linda Kreithen (July ’97) She lifts the white-handled bowl out of the cabinet, gathers from the refrigerator the twelve- grain pancake mix, two eggs, walnut oil, skimmed milk, and her tupperware of wheat germ, oat bran and lecithin, sees again her father sitting at the breakfast table, hacking on his Lucky Strikes, gulping bacon and three eggs, easy over more than thirty years ago as she ignites the griddle, blends liquid ingredients to dry, mixes in a benediction -- may all of us live long and healthy lives -- throws in some frozen blueberries, and with firm resolve spoons on the batter, waits fort he bubbles to appear, flips them until golden, then lays them out on a large oval platter buttering lightly while still hot, then dusting the tops with cinnamon sugar. Each days he makes this offering for her husband and son. May her merit defend them -- Amen.

ITALIAN POEM To the Muse Once on lazy autumn afternoons, I heard you sing under the yellowing willow leaves. But tonight, I trudge in the icy darkness among fallen diamonds, road salt glinting in the murky streetlights. I listen for the lilting song that rode the wind’s back on sun-speckled afternoons, only to hear crushed salt moaning between black asphalt and my worn soles. • ”Alla Musa”written by • Kristina Snader ’09 (March 2007)
