(2014)
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
It’s not pretty When I cry People get almost as embarrassed as I
A conversation With a true friend Leaves your life richer Maybe with a laugh A smile on your face
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
My body is perfect —ly spotted The white spots I tell myself Are my Bambi spots
