Evisu (2008): Laurie Beth Jones’s 1997 book, Jesus in Blue Jeans, offers “a practical guide to everyday spirituality” (lagging twenty or so years behind the American Bible Society’s denim-covered pocket edition of the Good News Bible). Meanwhile, a small Ohio-based company called Jewish Jeans uses its profits to fund Jewish causes. Rounding out the Semitic triumvirate, Al Quds jeans, manufactured in Italy and Pakistan, feature a high waist and baggy legs that won’t impede repeated kneeling; large pockets to hold taboo objects while praying (and prayer beads when not); and discrete green seams.

Francesco Sinibaldi: Perhaps love.

Two young birds,
while a soft
wind alights near
the sound of
a fountain, are
singing again, and
even a sadness
comes back
in a moment in the
smile of his heart,
in a beautiful
dream now forgetting
the past and there,
after all, where
a sorrow delights.

Francesco Sinibaldi: The first image of an hillock.

This is the
first image of
an open hillock,
and this is
the sun now
recalling the action
of a singing blackbird,
that beautiful care
becoming excited
while the dark
fades away......
