Ithaca Poem by Ira Sadoff

Ithaca



I've been blessed
with a few gusts of wind,
a few loves
to wave goodbye to.
I still think of mother's kitchen,
sorry for tantrums
of way back when. No frost
lodged in me then. In those days
snow spread through town
like an epidemic: how archival
the blankness seemed.
If you flew above
the shell of the old house
it was nothing really:
there was no story
to our little ranch house,
so you couldn't hear a thing.
