Giovanna Marasco Poems

Oblongs are NOT real
They do not exist
They are only in your mind
And on pieces of paper
...

Invisible hands
Have sculpted this land,
Mountains and trees
And all that you see
...

A friend once told me
That life is a downhill slope
She also told me that this was okay
Because she had a mountain bike
...

Braces
Designed to hug your teeth...
Advances in orthodontic technology
Leading us ever closer
...

If every movement
Every action
Teaches you something
What am I learning right now?
...

It's been
so long
years.
...

When I was so much less alive
Than I am now

How did it feel to hold me?
...

If only you could learn
The lessons in my mind,
Without ever having to feel
The pain that burns within me,
...

My eyes widen
And so does my mind,
When I think
Of what I might find
...

Another night,
Out on the prowl
I put on all black
And my scariest scowl
...
