Also known as suppertime
(2014)
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
If I could paint a man Eyes so dark they shine Brooding and stormy Til the smile breaks through If I could paint a man
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
