"Starry Night"

A town surrounded by
The dark moving light
Of a thousand stars.

Colours together in
An explosion of movement,
Brightness, ultimately telling us
The story of an ordinary town
And its ordinary people.

The Universe converging,
Bringing us all of its
Wonder, showing us
A town surrounded by
The dark moving light
Of a thousand stars.

Cátia Ribeiro

Starry Night, Vincent van Gogh

Through the Looking Glass

This body I see
Is not mine.
These eyes I glance,
I don’t know
What lies beneath them.

This feeling of belonging
Is not my own.
I don’t belong here!

I’ve been replaced
For another version of me.

A happy me.
A lovable me.
A real me.

But oh no!
I don’t want that.
I want to be there,
In the real world.

On the other side
Of the mirror.

I wanna be with you.
I wanna be the one for you.

Cátia Ribeiro
