Bon Giorno Poem by Lindsay Elise

Bon Giorno



He opens his hands,
Lets the moths fly erratically
About in my stomach.
They tremble unconsciously,
Make me shiver.
Some loose their way and
I feel them in my heart-
My four-chambered heart,
My heart that aches with the longing
And beats with the fluttering moths.
He released them from his finger-cage,
Let them go wild in my soul,
Just by catching my eye,
Just by saying hello.
