(2014)
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
