My-dearest-giulia - GIULIA

A Pretty Little Message to Myself

A boy with eyes like glass jars swishing with waves of the blue abyss,

I wrote my pretty little poems

about a pretty little boy with starlight eyes,

moonshine hair.

The lives I regret to wish

that I had lived,

The girls.

Belgium, Switzerland.

French and Italian and American

Geneva, Brussels.

I try to say my life has changed;

Never the pretty little boy

with the odd Swiss accent,

and the lopsided smile,

and the shy, wry, understated wit.

Never again.
