(2014)
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
