My name is Heather Mirassou and I come from America’s Oldest Winemaking Family, I have been writing poetry since I was twelve years old. My favorite poet at the time was Leo Buscaglia, who writes about love. I sent him a letter and a few of my poems and he wrote back rewarding me with a signed book of poetry and an inspirational letter. He said I was a NATURAL POET and I should continue writing poetry and learn and practice as much as I could. I will always remember his influence on my writing and my will to follow in his footsteps. The symbolic interpretation of my last name, Mirassou is: > Mirror of the soul >One who reflects within >The watcher of light >A woman who sees truth beneath the surface

System Alert – by Heather Mirassou


My body sends a 
push notification
before my brain can catch up,
a sudden spike,
heart glitching 
like bad code.

Something's off.
The air encrypted,
the room buffering in
slow frames,
corners pixelating
as if reality.

I check my breath,
thin, throttled,
running in the 
background
without permission.

A tremor
climbs my spine,
a quiet vibration,
like unseen messages
typing itself 
into my nerves.

instinct kicks in,
primal software,
older than logic,
shouting move
without explaining why.

And that's when
I know:
the threat isn't in the hallway,
or the street,
or the feed -

It's inside me,
rewriting my pulse,
line by line
until I can tell
what part of me
is still me.
