The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
Mis manchas de Bambi Manchas blancas Cubren mi cuerpo La gente se queda mirando Pero no les da asco
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
I am a consumer Female Twenties I buy Cheap clothes and lattes
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
A joke Lost in Translation You will Never
A fresh faced country girl Who pioneers on her bicycle Catches the eye Of a transplant from Houston Love begins through letters
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
Left on a leash Is no way to live He disappeared I like to imagine He’s running in a field
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
