(2015)
If I was in a beauty pageant My talent would be 'Lefty who writes upside-down’ Beside the contestant Who burps her ABC’s
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Dime ¿Qué es su lengua materna? Ni inglés Ni español Sus padres no hablan inglés
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
