(2015)
For my beautiful nieces and nephews, who of course are the funnest kids in the whole wide world.
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
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
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
If you find someone That can do it Better than you Get them on your team
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
