(2014)
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
When I think of my mom I think of malt o meal muffins When I think of my dad Memories of a child Chasing us around the circle
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
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
Look in the mirror What is it you see? Hazel eyes above your Favorite black dress Looks clean and fresh
Antisocial tendencies Amplified by sickness I can people watch Yet I can’t people talk I am lonely
