(2015)
Dedicated to my sister and our late night talks when this became my catchphrase.
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Hospitality To love a stranger It need not be much For one who has little Will appreciate it
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
I can feel it coming Decisions I can’t make Brain starts to freeze Fingers won’t work Sick of this disease
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
Good secret Bubbles inside Let me out Bad secret Indigestion
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
He says I could never Get away with murder For I leave Pieces of me everywhere
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
