Poems by Victoria Giannecchini

POLAROIDS

I have stumbled upon
innumerous amounts of chanting

the sexual air shocks me

and I am quiet like
a thousand times before

an orange flash snaps me back

I stretch a tired smile
across a naked face

pictures of me strewn along the mantle top

remind me constantly of
timeless sufferering

BIRTH

Limbs
emerge from
cobalt silence

lungs unfold
in cool air
like pink wings
fluttering

we rush to
the surface
eyes wide
smiling into
the sun

teeth reflecting
a day of
one more birth

TSUNAMI

Painted tsunamis
attack
the canvas
risking bristles
and stroke -

to annihilate
the vast white
space

Angry whorls
disguise the calm
at the point

of perspective,

cross strokes
(persimmon and
cobalt blue)

cause the eye
to flutter

and realize
grief
in the
foreground




Victoria Giannecchini of Simi Valley, Califnornia received a BA in Creative Writing from San Francisco State University. "I feel that the diversity of voices I experienced while attending SFSU, helped to shape my own voice. This summer I will attend California State University Northridge to begin working on my MA in poetry. My poetry has appeared in the Lucid Stone, South Ash Press, The Peninsula Review and several other poetry journals." You can write to her rcoe4@earthlink.net
