#Portraits
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
Pragmatic me Doesn’t like this girl You can’t depend on her Too complex to understand She cries at the worst times
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Who’s the best? Ask my Daddy He’ll tell you Enthusiastically He always sees
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
