Villeggiatura (weariness of urban life)
Dispatches from the city indicated unusual quiet, the possibilities of nature reclaiming concrete
From this window villa, we sipped coffee and mused on a world lightly populated with people
as the flowers among the weeds grew strong, as if we knew all along the dirt could sustain us
Inspired by an exploration of the word in The Cabinet of Calm (Soothing Words for a Troubled World) by Paul Anthony Jones
