(2014)
My poems are short Written at night In my head I wake at dawn Shake my memory
¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
Inspirational quotes Are full of crap Whatever meaning Is lost In the sea
My parents always say We’re proud of you I am too I got out of bed I used to get so much done
If I could make you smile Just once Sincerity From an appreciative heart It would make all of it worthwhile
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
I spend all my time Fighting with you In my head If we fought At least it would be
