Alan Pizzarelli

at the produce stand
a kid with a baseball
plays catch with the awning

________


leaning for the sign
the pitcher rotates the ball
behind his back


________


at shortstop
between innings
sparrows dust-bathing


________


game over
all the empty seats
turn blue


______


the score keeper
peeks out of the scoreboard
spring rain


______


saturday afternoon
as the ballgame ends
geese return to the outfield



Baseball Haiku
