Poetry || SubmissionsAnthony LiccioneDinner AlasThere is a bird in my grillThere is a bird in my grill- On my way to the grocery It was snagged doing sixty, When its tired wings sank low Against the wind and drizzle. Now I can abort my trip And pry my prey, yet chirps >From the car's radiator. There is a bird on my grill, There is a bird on my grill- Roasting with seasonings A dinner to not be passed, I will feast the barbeque With a washing of white wine, Then pick my teeth giddily >From the bone of its soft rib. But first, I will gather these leaves And pray I find a potato Leap in the stroke of each rake, Then my meal may be complete. On Turning Two
Second birthday$4.89 for a number 2 candle three blows out a whitewash for future Augusts' birds flying high to a new dawn, a new day flame withdrawn-- sticky fingers frosting all worth the pennies of 2 seconds, captured on reel. Choked With FascinationWas she waving at meor the guy some feet away? She was dazzling as she went on waving her hand as a white flag in her ruby two piece. The trine of her body bobbing on the zenith lake submerged in water as a red-white lure attracting fish or men or fishermen. How far gone was she, dipping with those Do Not Swim Beyond This Point lines and signs. I would have felt an ass had I waved back and smiled, when it wasn't meant for me. As I turned toward the sand and walked away it dawned to me that I could have her. Why shall I drown in fear? All the fishes in the sea how many have slipped from my hands- my feet baring the earth alone. And if I wave at her, what the hell… is it a curse to be friendly. The courage up- the fear swallowed when I turned to finally wave, she was gone. Anthony Liccione's poetry has been accepted in Real Eight View, The Surface, WORDs Dance, Wieldy, Liquid Muse, The Sidewalk's End and The Stump. And he has published at Ariga Today's Situation
