(2014)
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
You must commit To an outfit Where are you going? In sporty yoga pants Athletic top
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
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
