Reaping
The Last for Blueprints: A collection of poems

Jody Azzouni
Tufts University

My father is dead
I look at the tomatoes
he'd planted
and realize ghost
is a crop like any other.

I talk to the ground,
beg it to manage something
better this time. But no,
what wanders through the living room
that evening
is insubstantial as usual.

We chat,
nothing new going on in his life,
mine idle with triviality.
I'd lie, but I can see he doesn't care.

After he leaves,
I lay out all the color photographs
of him I can find.

I pretend the snapshots are flowers.
