#OtataJune2019

Seven poems of mine featured in Otata, June 2019. A great journal edited by John Martone.

grandma’s house
her tiny handprints
on the old spinning wheel

casa della nonna
le impronte delle sue piccole mani
sull’arcolaio

old loom
grandma embroiders
a little forget-me-nots

vecchio telaio
la nonna ricama
un piccolo non ti scordar di me

late spring
the elderberry woods
blanketed by snow

tarda primavera
i boschi di sambuco
ricoperti dalla neve

cumulonimbus
a kingfisher is flying
with the wind

cumulonembi
un martin pescatore
sta volando con il vento

flower moon
a monarch butterfly chases
its shadow

luna di fiori
una farfalla monarca insegue
la sua ombra

swans on the lake
the silvery glow
of last snow

cigni sul lago
il bagliore argenteo
dell’ultima neve

spring moon
the tiny buds still grow
on the cold graves

luna di primavera
le piccole gemme crescono
ancora sulle fredde tombe
