(2014)
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
