io non ho paura by Nicoletta Ciunci
The Big Dipper
Missed Connections in Portland
over your body i linger
contours like
mountain ranges
stitched on mind
tatoos like rivers
etching history
in flesh
i know this landscape
your geography
i see
beneath clothes
clearly my
body feels yours
like a song
One Year Ago: Missed Connections in Brooklyn, NY: My Precious Beagle Girl
Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
“I’m not scared” is the title of this photograph by Nicoletta Ciunci and it’s a wonderful complement to the message from our Portland poet. Beautiful, mysterious, sensual, and perhaps even a bit dangerous – just like the mountains, just like our bodies. Every landscape tells a story, we simply have to look and listen to discover it.
