Gia Civerolo

black night haiku


Night sky black whispers

come to me please.  She follows.

Taste buried blue dreams.





god looks away some days

I am punk rock temperament
I forgot a time before that
Feeling the rush of going 
Toe to toe
Rebelling against everything

I am a product of rosary veins
Novenas through the centuries
Catholic faith rooted deep
In love for others
Self-shame hangs on the cross
along with Jesus
like nails it gets in the way

I am a sparkle of a super
Blue moon
In the mirror 
Disguising hats hiding
parts of myself
Shining bright
in the night
and the light





poems as therapy
 
I am looking inside out
Cyclone chaos
Concave words mirroring
upside down answers
 
Alice in Wonderland
Perception clearly 
Right in front of me
Gazing upon proximity
 
A good actor, I never dive
totally into clear honest 
still water schisms
Searching ends with me
 
Is it plagiarizing if
you steal from yourself?
I’ve become lazy to the flow
Slam dunk, stick the landing
 
An audience member
clapping at the conclusion
automatically, no critical
or intellectual thinking
 
You make a secret
game of it all
Don’t tell anyone what 
the words are really saying

You said, 
“Be your own therapist”
I hope I am good 
I have very high standards
