1
Miles from any shoreline.
2
I frequently miss entire days caught in my brain's spider webs.
3
But if I happen to look up in time to notice that the darkness still has a little daylight left to swallow,
4
I will ivy up the fire escape to catch whatever embers of the day are still slow dying behind New Jersey.
5
And last week, through the fog of my loneliness, I realized the living room was slippery pink,
6
which I knew meant a light show must be on display.
7
So with a quickness I reserved for emergencies, I scampered to the roof, and sure enough, an explosion of upside -down clementine,
8
cotton candy, cloud wisps was tie -dying the Hudson River neon.
9
And I swear, I am not a lightweight, but I was color drunk immediately, dizzy with gasp and skyward reaching,
10
hoping my fingers might find a bell I could ring
11
that would summon all of New York City to look up and west.
12
But there was no bell and no one to call, just my own astonishment still willing to answer after the first ring how predictable.
13
One good sunset and I release my nihilism like rose petals behind a bridal gown.
14
Look, I have married my cynicism and renewed my vows.
15
But it didn't stop the streetlights from coming on at the exact moment I passed beneath them
16
when nobody else was in the park to see it, like the whole city was winking.
17
And yes, I blushed, the way I do whenever someone beautiful flirts with me.
18
I haven't stopped thinking about death.
19
I am just wringing every last jaw drop from the tissue between heartbreaks.
20
On a long run outside the city, along a highway and miles from any shoreline,
21
I found a starfish alone on the asphalt.
22
An unsolvable mystery with no witness to corroborate.
23
And there I was again, wandering the streets of Bewilderville, population one.
24
What else could I possibly do but swing wide the doors of my delight to this patron saint of unbelonging,
25
fragile and whole and so far from home.
26
If you too have been the one nobody asked to dance, I have a starfish I'd love to introduce you to.
27
And I don't have any proof, but one time the wind or my ancestors
28
or unseasonal warmth carried three hawks to my kitchen windowsill to rattle my coffin to cocoon
29
and two of them left
30
but one of them stayed eyed me through the glass like a promise
31
or a dare so lately I am trying to pick up when the universe calls Thank you.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
