(2014)
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
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
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
