Issue 6: Paul Watsky

by Paula Lietz

Babyjesus Day

The year’s been good

to garbage birds—ravens

in the hood, gulls at

the beach. Life, oh

sacred life, pro-

liferates. And the sun

shines through my dirty

upstairs windows. And

a crisp breeze pro-

vokes my ugly

soon-to-be-cut-

down volunteer

cherry tree out there

in the yard to give

me a tense little before-

breakfast wave.

Paul Watsky is the author of full-length poetry collection, Telling The Difference (Fisher King Press, 2010) and three chapbooks, the most recent being Extra Innings (Interpoezia, 2010), on the subject of baseball. His poems and translations have appeared in Asheville Poetry Review, The Pinch, Natural Bridge, Alabama Literary Review, and elsewhere.
