(2015)
For my beautiful nieces and nephews, who of course are the funnest kids in the whole wide world.
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
I don’t expect Diabetes education For the public But chances are You know one
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Why can’t I choose to be somewhere in the middle? Surrounded by extremes Measure everything With a grain of salt
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
