Hundred billion stars in the galaxy

peering only at the Polaris.

Eyeballs catching the Kingfisher

flying from tree to tree.

Stayed to see the sun disappear

to watch my love: Lupus constellation.

this solitude…

a cloud cloaking my days

with ease

the silence no word

wants to escape

Rita Melissano

sitting

on a slice of moon

she smiles

without feeling the sharp

edge of the dark side


Rita Melissano

writing

on the mind’s walls

all is lost

the red ink of a heart lasts

forever like a swan feather

Rita Melissano

endless sky...

where

the sun goes to sleep
