(2014)
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Restless As I lay in bed Trying to fall asleep These are my clues I might be low
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
I cannot apologize For writing what I feel inside If it is hard to read It is harder to live I will understand
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
The news hit me Like a punch in the gut I threw up two times From the pain Knowing that I
I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo
The pine trees Reach up On both sides Of the road Telling me
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
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
