In bocca al lupo

Reivax Camlost

In bocca lupa: Rain;

wet forests filled with silver trees,

a shadowed oak with darkened leaves,

a bird whose wings beat off the frigid wind—

rain is falling down,

a rising mist is autumn's crown;

a Sanguine flower in the light,

its petals clasped with Summer's parting kiss.

 

How I wonder at your tenderness,

I could not touch you and remain the same;

In bocca lupa: 

Rain is falling down.

    Wow a very interesting superb imagery poem in a fine forest setting wow! What does Boccaccio Lupa mean I'm curious to know. Kudos for a super poem.

      Literally, "In the mouth of the wolf." It's sort of a good-luck salutation in Italian.
