Women in the Window by John Sacco for Palmy Bova What became of the women in the window? Dressed in black, arms resting on a pillow across the sill. Watching the ebb and flow of the neighborhood below. A day starting with the wash, laundry strung on a line across the courtyard to dry in the sun. Down the stairs to the street for “la spesa.” (But first a stop at church for Mass and a Rosary). Then off to the butcher for “meat for the gravy”, the baker for bread, the salumeria for cold cuts and the grocer for the rest. Back up the stairs to cook and clean with the soap opera on the radio to keep company. Chores done, time to sit by the window and wait. Watching the street theater below as the children come home from school anticipating that chunk of bread dipped in sauce and given like a priest offering communion. A husband walking home from work, knowing his dish will be there as sure as the sun will rise. The women in the window notice changes in the streets below. The young moving out for leafy suburbs and a swing set in the backyard. The new young, known as “strangers or Lu! american” moving in. The transition is complete. The women in the window have been replaced by the young and restless carrying a six-pack of beer and a bag of chips. The hallway smells of smoke instead of fried meat and gravy. The women in the window no longer look out. There’s nothing left to look at.
