~ deer in the headlights

Poetry
Written By Clare Zicari

i think that if i just stay

perfectly

still

perfectly

still

perfectly

still


///


i think that if i just keep

perfectly

quiet

perfectly

quiet

perfectly

quiet


///


i think that if i just hold

everything

as

close

to

my

chest

as

possible


///


my heart will not hear

when the things it wants

draw close

and it will not

have time

to cross

to the other side of the road.
