Anthony Lusardi
Madeline Lusardi; Fourth-Year Death Anniversary
even though it rained yesterday. i rake leaves. while the trees still have half their colors.
and floating among your garden. among the last of its autumn colors. a speck of black. a swallowtail. trying to find any goldenrods.
last call...
the musk of dry leaves
fallen
from the tavern’s
burning bushes
