#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
