(2015)
Dedicated to my sister and our late night talks when this became my catchphrase.
The human heart ...leaps and jumps ...races and sings ...sighs and groans The treacherous heart can
Stubbed toe Red light Ugly words Ugly mouth To shock
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
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
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
To love reading Writing and words And not be able to Communicate Frustrated
Strong hands Hold me down To the bed I say to them I have to go
The whole world Aches and groans Do you feel her pain? The human in me Wants to heal mankind
Itus and Itis Crashed my party I didn’t invite them! I whisper to my sister They make my skin crawl
I know it’s for the best But it still hurts Hearing mothers complain For what I would give anything fo… My husband says no
I am stronger Than you think I am I am weaker Than I look
How can I write how I feel When what I feel is nothing? How can I tell you what I need, What is wrong? When what is wrong
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
What if one day I wasn’t there for you? And you were left needing me If I wasn’t there When you woke up
