A portrait
(2014)
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
Most women are cooks But a man who cooks Is a chef She cooks over and over To feed the masses

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
Desperate for his attention Knowing it will drive him away Jealous of a game - how lame Choking self-esteem where I lay Desperate for his affection
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter

I feel like crap Most days I have a lot going my way I am loved I can smile
If I could draw a tree In all it’s complexity Would you be impressed? If I could draw a human face It would be but a trace
It’s not that I’m sad Though I am It’s not that I’m discouraged Though I am It soaks deeper
