Take a break...before one takes you.

Head
in hands
Luca sits
Coffee untouched
Hair frazzled
With mirror
unchecked
☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️Sleeps
Drifts
In a lift
Buttons
Push back
It
Crashes
☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
Luca
Still sits
At her
Desk
A mount
Of white sheets
Untouched
Forehead
Lined
☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
Lift stops
At each floor
Buttons
Push Back
It nearly
Plunges
☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ ☁️
Luca
lies
on a
Deck chair
Taking
Tiny sips
Of
Pina
Colada.
