(2014)
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Clinical smells Polite strangers The only thing worse Than being here Is to not be able
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Rough day Rough night If I could live In my bath Water would never
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Blonde eyes To match her hair Life is mean She counts her blessings Hopes for the best
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
