Love 1

This is actually quite good, in that it says so much in so few lines.
Using the peach to describe the care and the love that your wife has.  

Very good.

Thank you so much for your lovely comment.

To Rest In The Shade
(Meriggiare pallido e assorto)

To rest in the shade, pale and thoughtful,
by a sun-hot garden wall
listening among thorns and brushwood
to the cry of blackbirds, the hiss of snakes.

In cracks in the soil or amongst the vetch
to spy on the files of red ants
now scattering now intertwining
at the top of miniscule mountains.

To observe among the leaves the distant
quivering scales of the sea,
while the tremulous cries rise
from cicadas on the naked hills.

And walking in the dazzling sun
to feel with a saddened wonder
how all of life and its travails
is in this following a wall
topped by bright shards of glass.
