Si Fuera Una Poeta

-
Si yo fuera poeta, hablaria con la lengua de otro
Yo se mas palabras en ingles, pero los poetas no hablan sobre de lo que saben
Ellos cantan sobre de lo que confunde 
Yo estoy confunde, eso no es la problema
Pero no se cantar
No se como me siento, siento todos las cosas 
Si pudeira hablar en italiano, yo usaria las manos de otro

Return to the Tree

-
I grew up in a tree and believed it to be, safe as the branches enclosed around me.  On strings of breeze God may pull as he please, the life over leaves dances with ease.  But when I watched by bees and birds as they fly, my limbs chagrined as branches down wind. Unaware before, I then yearned for more,  now feeling bound to my link in the ground. Shifting my gaze, grip turned to graze  as my eyes slid down to the trunk I had found. What could it be that afforded safety  as I sat above graves among the leaves and the aves? Was I anchored by tombs no man can exhume,  or was this decay the cause for trees' sway To the mound I fell by gravity compelled,  but when I did peel at what earth had concealed I found vines much stronger than ivy. Now posture is prayer so I look to the air,  thanking the roots for taking such care. But before I feed fibers completing the rhyme, I must find time for the trees ...

Granpa's Dying

-
“I’ll call you when I finish driving, I don’t like to talk in the car.” I was parked in my parents’ driveway, but that doesn’t make my statement any less true. I collected myself, pulled out, and headed towards the freeway. I enjoy talking on the phone with very few people. Who is interesting enough to hold my attention with just their words? I realize the irony, but I will try to be.  It’s fun to think of most people in public as playing characters . Wow, this mom at Starbucks makes a real convincing bitch.  Then I’ll give her a score like 8.5/10,  She’s kind of overdoing it, no one has that little self-awareness.  If she could dial it back a little? Super convincing.  How does anyone pass the ripe age of 20 and not come to the realization that there are other people in the world. 7 billion of them in fact—each complete with their own pet peeves, myths and kinks. I’m an infinitesimally small part of the universe. A part of the whole—the universe moves on wit...
