(2015)
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
