(2014)
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos
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
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
I enjoy his company Riding shotgun Conversation No one to overhear Our inside jokes
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
