(2015)
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
