(2014)
I love to hear poetry read Rather than performed I love to hear each word Appreciated Rather than memorized
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
I crave stability Neither wandering spirit Nor home-body Yes I’d love to travel But the foundation
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Tomorrow Has not yet come It’s promises yet to be broken Tomorrow Is bigger
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
Bags full of diapers Cars waiting in line Smell coming from the load Ashamed it was mine He noticed my insulin pump
Have you ever felt A hole inside of you Something dead inside Where your heart Is supposed to be?
Beside you I am At peace Our love A connection
She is no longer Part of my life I’ve moved on My life is full With friends
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
