(2015)
The strings that attach me To this world Ground me Yes they sometimes Keep me from flying
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
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
How do I Catch your interest? Once again I know You are bored with me
My soft spot My sweet boy I’d do anything for Who convinced me Little boys are the best
Turkey and dressing Loud and overwhelming Opinions and food fly Green bean casserole Too much laughter
Don’t talk down to me I am not a child! Even children Deserve respect
We Are me and you Together Two hearts Two minds
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
Does it hurt? When you prick your finger No I do this just for fun Our fingers lose feeling
My sister’s cookies Chocolate chip Got my nephew to Say her name For the first time
The ugliest shade Of green We envy The car The job
A palomino gallops Beside the highway Look out the window Rides over green hills Through yellow flowers
I will be Forever in debt To my mother Any gift Would come up short
