Rita R Melissano

that story…

is already written

in the sand

the sky has heard

the water singing it

Rita R. Melissano



in the murmur

of a calm river

the ripples of your voice

Rita R. Melissano



a puzzle piece remembering where to go

Rita R. Melissano



dark circles

the void inside

many moons

Rita R. Melissano



black holes...

pulled into forever

on a bed of dead stars

Rita R. Melissano
