(2014)
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
Manos fuertes No me sueltan De la cama Yo les digo Me tengo que ir
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
If food is poetry The flavors The smells Singing in harmony Is poetry food?
My grandfather told my father when he proposed to my mother on one condition
I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface
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
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
You might know her As blonde eyes Or as the sister who bakes cookies But you see I don’t write this
My heart breaks A little each day For problems I can’t solve For things I can’t change All I can do is pray
To be genius means To not follow the rules You don’t have to I wish to be smart But not self-important
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
Her fingernails Natural Long Pointed On fingers
