(2015)
Your pain is far away I hear it But I do not feel it Move closer Let me know you’re here to stay
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Long and slender Her every movement Deliberate and graceful Composed as She listens quietly
This world is covered in bias It’s all over you It’s all over me too This world is covered in bias It shades our words
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
The E’s squeak by The I’s are too excited The U’s come after Q But the A’s and the O’s They flow
I’ve known Deep inside All along My value That I matter
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
Springtime means Berry pickin’ In warm sun Therapeutic Part of me
