Leaving
the mountains to the coast
West
to Marsala
Palermo is chaos
past Terasini
the blue mountains of Castelemarre and Zingaro
the road from Salemi to Marsala is lined with olive trees and vineyards
it is lush and green
planed and empty
straight road to the south
what awaits me in Marsala
Here
at the saline Ettore and Infersa
blue water
white salt
Sit
in Mama Caura, the restaurant overlooking Mozia.
Tomato's and anchovies.
bask
in the sun
what am I doing all this for?
this
meet my host Nicola de Spano, who is very friendly
Their house is grand and comfortable
I have an apartment to myself, dark and cool.
Suddenly
after all those miles I am here in a new place
