Hospitality
To love a stranger
It need not be much
For one who has little
Will appreciate it
All the more
Humanity
To feel his hunger
For food
For warmth
For company

More inviting
Work in progress

La presión atrapada Busca por donde salir Tapo mi boca Se me sale por los ojos Tapo mis ojos

When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery

My soft spot

My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Humbled

By nature high-strung But I thought I was strong If not physically, emotionally For things to roll off my back Be mature and take the high road
