(2014)
How do you describe A man so dramatic? You can recognize him From afar with his hat Always the gentleman
I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
My pump Constant companion Of my disease My sensor Resembles a feeding
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
Apathy and incompetence In healthcare A fax they didn’t send Prescriptions delayed Labs to do again
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
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
No hay nada más sincero Que un regalo Inesperado Una carta Un chocolate
