Poems for diabetics
(2015)
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
My objective is selfish Not to share or be heard To get it out and move on No one seems to hear my pain No one seems to feel my pain
Escogí las palabras Más adecuadas Por lo que yo Quería decir Abrí la boca
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Beautiful legs The right shape and curve Olive color without the green That tans and doesn’t burn Until you see
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Scratchy plaid blanket Red with yellow stripes Hot and itchy underneath Claustrophobia strikes Purple and blue prisms
