(2014)
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Filler words Put me to sleep Added to cushion Take away my pillow Blunt words to wake up
I do not enjoy roller coasters I am not chicken But they say You just have to try it! So I do
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
The more you treat me like a nag The more I become one I’m sorry if I micromanage Your clean clothes Your hot meals
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
I need to tell you How to survive With our disposition It’s okay to cry Maybe
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
I had it all In my head And then I said Words I do not know which ones
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
I would never choose To eat a granola bar Or peanut butter crackers Though I eat them All of the time
I’m watching a woman in a bikini In great shape with a swollen bell… Play with her puppy named Gatsby A Hispanic family comes The little girl dips her feet in
