The title Awake to a Blue Sky
seems to be going away in favour of
Chiara and her Scuri.
Alluding of course to the artistic expression for paintings emphasing light and dark.
But this is not painted in that manner, rather drawing on the literal Italian
chiaro = light or clear
scuro = dark
or chiara and scura [feminine]
and with the additional level here also,
taking Chiara as a woman's name (as Clara or Clare in English)
and her Scuri — her grasping dark creatures, her demons,
holding her from her nature of light
... creatures on the one hand seemingly conventional
and on the other savage.
The belt not an adornment but a restraint.
