28 The boy looked up at Leo, and his flat little face was desperate, his voice urgent and shrill. “Was he crazy? Do you think he was a lunatic?” The paper boy’s voice dropped suddenly with doubt. “Leo? Or not?” But Leo would not answer him. Leo had run a night café for fourteen years, and he held himself to be a critic of craziness. There were town characters and also the transients who roamed in from the night. He knew the manias of all of them. But he did not want to satisfy the questions of the waiting child. He tightened his pale face and was silent. So the boy pulled down the right flap of his helmet and as he turned to leave he made th only comment that seemed safe to him, the only remark that could not be laughed down and despised: “He sure has done a lot of traveling.” ****** The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
29 Ric Amante Her Radiant Upward Vagrancy Brash and enlivening, loose-limbed and flush the May dawn unscrolls—pink ziggurats, golden scintillas, gray scimitars she sees and says— an ornery indigent hunkered down on a slab of blue granite. Hunkered down yet gazing up through crosshatch of branch and wire for the bright red thread of a cardinal, a woodpecker’s spiral ascent. Or morning doves with orange coos, a mockingbird running the changes— calls to bring her song to theirs, however much she feels beyond anything so whole. And what of the torn sleeves and mind when the door to this temple swings free each time? To just bend a cold ear, turn a lone eye. Hunkered down yet moving along among clouds, birds, misfortune— inhabiting a stage whose sky-bound melodies will lift the ache within. The Cenacle | 59 | October 2006
