(2014)
Yo te amo Tres palabras Que solucionen todo Para la mujer Tan complicada
I told everyone About you The ugly beast Inside of me You can’t hide
The medication is not me But neither is the sickness it tre… You may hear its effects In my voice In my opinions
Why do we love sunsets? Distinguishing fascination What other species Must stop and stare A romantic couple
No es solo la tristeza Aunque si lo estoy No es por el desanimo Aunque si me desanimo No es tan sencillo
Well-intentioned stranger Eyeing me limp through HEB Why would you ask If I stepped on a nail? How do you know
Who am I? I am me When did I Become me? As I recall
May sun is warm An old friend You have missed June sun Still smiles
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
Itchy It has to come off Nerves Makes me pick His look
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
I struggle to Keep it together Maxims and mottoes On repeat In my mind
I am unique In so many ways But while variety excites What we look for Is our common thread
To be a true artist Must they be recluses Crazy mad or sick Or even better dead Show me a healthy artist
