## Description

there was a hole in the yard  
that dad sometimes sat in  
when it rained  
hoping that the senseless accumulation  
would raise his body  
with the tide of the river

though it never did

and he’d  climb the same aluminum ladder  
his dad did  
and do what the rain was incapable of

he was quieter on those nights  
sometimes studying the absence from the window  
after his failure  
while mom scraped uneaten leftovers  
into a trash can that grew with our belts

after our sister passed  
he filled the hole  
with objects he’d bought from garage sales over the years

a snow globe that once predicted a winning horse  
a stained glass car battery used as a defibrillator at a church no one worshiped at  
an AM radio made from downed power lines 
a sack of marbles with varnished flies 
a jar of sand with a piece of yellowing tape that read normandy

were amongst the things he awarded  
to the irregularity eating our lawn  
maybe hoping their presence  
would unburden the clouds  
and he’d finally take the ladder to the town dump  
or lend it to our neighbor  
who didn’t move much from  
his own broken jacuzzi

it never did rain again after all that  
and when we called from time to time  
he’d tell us it still hadn’t

and we didn’t go back much  
so maybe it didn’t

or maybe it had been raining for years
