spring rain

watching fishing videos

when we can’t fish

—Anthony Lusardi

springtime shadow

my niece imagines herself

a giant with long legs

almost like your first love

no one gets over

their first fright

outdoor barbecue:

on the radio

john lennon

with the cicadas

adding their beat

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

watching ocean waves

the fizz in my soda

dying down

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

 

morning rain

with thunder . . .

breathing techniques

to nurse the hangover

and the heartache


Anthony Lusardi

determined to live

from her window

and in bed

the chemo patient

watching leaves fall

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

waiting

for the storm to pass . . .

counting seconds

between the flash

and the boom

Anthony Lusardi

balancing the t.v. set

to watch jersey shore

autumn rain

a groundhog

digs another hole

before the storm altogether the crows

lunar halo—

is there ever a good time

to tell bad news

Anthony Lusardi

nor’easter

under dead leaves and bark

a frog sleeps

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

a sudden gale

pushing me away

from the path i chose

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

your favorite song

you sigh

every other moment

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

veterans day;

as the grill sparks

grandpa flinches

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

july twilight

waves in the ocean

and in her hair


Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

mountain hike

she clings to me

covered in burr seeds

Anthony Lusardi

Anthony Lusardi

rolling meatballs

her sunken eyes

her dilated pupils
