(2014)
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
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
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
Antes lograba tanto Metía horas Sacando lo máximo De cada minuto No he cambiado
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
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
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
