Poem by Ava Caiola

A girl lived there, says the pictures of her and her friends
on the small, square bulletin boards above her bed;
and she had two younger sisters, and a mom and dad,
says the family photo from Disney on her dresser.
Two puppies also lived with her, says the pictures of them
that line her mirrors around her room.

She liked makeup but never used much, says the dust
lying on top of almost all of it;
liked stuffed animals too, says the buckets of them
around her room and on her bed;
and she loved books, says the tall shelf
filled with titles upon titles that all look read.

She played basketball, says the brand new shoes
sitting on the floor but never used;
and loved music, says the albums stacked on her
desk that is made of old wood.
She dreams to travel the world, says the pins
in a large map on her wall.
