gia civerolo


fluttering


Her soul floating

Somewhere in the

Fog of mediocracy


Jumping across fire

Escapes always

5 alarm fires


Racing hot

Roaring

Sensory overload


Swaddle in sheets of

White cocooned

Don’t turn on the


News

No news

She/I can’t hear 


News like glass

Shower doors

Exploding


Glittering

All the while

Cutting little


Pieces fluttering

Against the candle

Warm lite 


Hope in the shape

Hummingbird shadow

Quietly at rest





There are ghosts 


There are ghosts 

On these pages


Rattling my bones white

Exposing Tell Tell hearts


There are ghosts 

On these pages


Dodging & Spiking

Black ink nails


Picking seeds between

My teeth on railroad tracks


There are ghosts 

On these pages


Too hot smoldering

Broken hearts


There are ghosts 

On these pages


I can’t keep my

Balance anymore





what were you dreaming?


Dawn drains deeply 

night darkness 


Pink light 

paints picture 

perfect pursed 

lips lying 

softly next to me 


White cloud sheets 

Sculpt curves 

of your bones 

Barely visible 


Beneath 


My


Hot


Longing 


Lingering 


Gaze
