If we were having coffee today, August 18th, I’d invite you to come sit with me on the back porch. There’s a fresh breeze blowing and a plate of warm cookies next to tall glasses of iced coffee waiting on the table. I’d ask you to join me in wishing my youngest sister, Maureen, a … Continue reading If We Were Having Coffee… Michele Vecchitto

THROWBACK FRIDAY – Capturing Hope – Michele Vecchitto
Once I climbed the walls of a canyon just to release my voice beneath a sky tinged with red velvet and rubies it echoed hollow and flat before returning to fill spaces and cracks and indigence replacing thoughts of emboldened bitterness The Milky Way created calligraphy in the dark and I captured my tears in … Continue reading THROWBACK FRIDAY – Capturing Hope – Michele Vecchitto
If We Were Having Coffee, July 21 – Michele Vecchitto
If we were having coffee today, July 21st, I’d invite you to sit on the patio with me. We’ve been having a heatwave with temperatures reaching 100+ but with my huge umbrella and a fan, it’s bearable. This week promises to bring more reasonable weather. I’d rather sit in this heat than take winter’s cold … Continue reading If We Were Having Coffee, July 21 – Michele Vecchitto
A Place to Belong – Michele Vecchitto
I’ve lost my place caught out here on purgatory road I’m stuck in reverse in this tunnel with no end in this tunnel with no beginning The beginning before everything was dismantled and disguised Should have known when you called me by her name Black-inked tattoo with the last of our money My heart full … Continue reading A Place to Belong – Michele Vecchitto
Second Chances – Michele Vecchitto
We almost discarded it, the rickety dresser that couldn’t quite find its center It was covered in a fine layer of dust, the grime a testament to years of neglect Each drawer was more stuck than the last as if it knew salvation was out of reach, as if it understood there were better offerings, … Continue reading Second Chances – Michele Vecchitto

On Second Thought – Michele Vecchitto
A moment to be wistful to linger in the in-between, caught by spectacular vistas and rising tides Searching for solace by sunflower petals, faded and tristful tenuous steps shaken by sorrow’s onslaught a moment to be wistful Releasing rainbows, the god’s hand abides with wisdom to reach a soul destined to linger in the in-between, … Continue reading On Second Thought – Michele Vecchitto
Strength Claimed – Michele Vecchitto
And when magic is lean and your mantra seems tarnished and messy, when courage is desperate for a way to escape and dreams are filled with regret, when being headstrong and proud leaves you sort of wishing for reasons to abdicate your throne, whatever that may be, remember… a vulnerable soul has power Stories … Continue reading Strength Claimed – Michele Vecchitto
Breaking Memory by Michele Vecchitto
I awoke to a breaking memory caught somewhere between layers of haze and impending storms I tried to hold it, to capture the edges before they dissolved back into nothingness My mind bent and curved as if it were a porcelain cup While the vision dissipated layer by layer, a release of emotion oozed from … Continue reading Breaking Memory by Michele Vecchitto
Midnight’s Journey – Michele Vecchitto
Dust sparkles like frost on the window in this little piece of heaven where the quiet warrior sings of forgotten lands She’s a lonely orphan who learned to fly away from the cold, dark city where the air stifles and silence floats like a heavy blanket draped over subdued stars Now even her casual sigh … Continue reading Midnight’s Journey – Michele Vecchitto
