Also known as suppertime
(2014)
I cannot divide My heart Into four pieces Equally Geometrically
¿Te duele Cuándo piques tu dedo? No Lo hago por pura diversión Lo que duele
When the emotion comes up It feels like heartburn Like acid Clenching my throat My ears go watery
Life is good A little luxury A cup of coffee Served with toast Consumed lazily
Husband and wife Companions for life Mature love that deepens And mellows with time Life’s eroding winds
Que te cuentan un chiste Las palabras se traducen Pero el humor no se puede Por si no lo entiendes Ríete
Steamroller Of life Passed by Feeling down Squished
A healthy pancreas Is like a transmission Seamlessly shifting gears In type 2 diabetics Wear and tear
I am sorry That I cannot be happier I know that I’d be prettier If I smiled If I could smile
Hillary’s beautiful Rose Bumpy’s favorite princess My mini-me, my little lion Cute button nose Framed by red hair
Some I like to share Fresh out of the oven Don’t let it get cold That’s why I wrote it Emotions in that moment
Would I rather be A younger me? More productive Stronger Would i have to give up
An idea In my head Falls flat On paper Read it
A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music
Does the world need Another book? Another poem? I add one more to the pile To be left alone
