[bodytext] => A Day Of Rain
This afternoon scents of burning leaves dampened by steady rain and strong tobacco smoked by the digger of graves, unpicked grapes and damp olive trees This afternoon sees close shut windows, eternally grieving old women in black praying to a God that has done them no favours, candle light and a tired padre. It sees a funeral cortege like a flock of ravens ponderously walking to the cemetery where five more holes gapes toothless to the sky; this is not a good season for the elderly.
