A portrait
(2014)
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Didn’t they know that people cared? That they were loved? Why didn’t someone tell them?
Love is sincere Sincerely Wanting to connect Love makes you crazy Insanity that makes you fly
Ask any female Love Is in the details I love you Three greatest words
Pretty and dainty Rich girl feet Meant to be Beside the pool They don’t like to work
Water Beach pools and fountains Rivers creeks and waterfalls The sound The feel Floating Weightless
Algunos me gusta compartir Calientitos Justo cuando salgan del horno Que no se enfríe Por eso lo escribí
Down to earth I am but of dust Dust particles I see floating in the air Carbon molecules
A family trait Massage Is our vice No shame Take what
Traffic Irritation becomes a nightmare As the lines start to squiggle Bending in and out And the world starts its attack
Uh-Oh! Cranky mood Throws a fit Over cereal Cheerios
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
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
How do you measure pain? All is relative and personal Even with one’s own self It is impossible to compare As memory distorts pain
Destruction is fun But cannot be undone Smashed Trashed Crumpled
