To Avalon by Lindsay Pelliccia

in the winds

that accost

the shoreline,

 

the car with

the owl

license plate

 

speeds down

the parkway

 

as thoughts of

childhood and

divine

intervention

 

mix with the

summer music

 

from the

yellow,

second-hand

CD


“I ‘trashed’ this piece because I felt that it would be difficult for others to relate to. Sometimes I like writing poetry that only I will understand. This piece happens to be one of these poems. While I enjoy this type of poetry, I do think it can be difficult for others to understand or grasp on to.”

Lindsay Pelliccia (she/they) is a recent graduate of Temple University, author of “30 Days of April,” and the Editor-in-Chief of Contemporary Jo Literary Magazine. She resides in Philadelphia and can be found @lindsaypelliccia
