You say I’m biasedBut that’s not trueI’m just blessed with The very best view Yes I can see you as you truly areWhen you’re in my arms When I’m in your arms When I tell youWhat it is I seeYou sometimes tell meThat you disagree Well you really should believe me Cause I’m in communionContinue reading “A Painting on our Wall”

You’re a Momma Now
You were everything beforeNow somehow you’re even more You’re a momma now Cause we spoke those sacred lines The moon and stars alignedAnd Tamar came down Cub and momma bear It’s a primal bond you shareIt’s my job job to make sure nothing interferes As we build our home with blood and sweat and tearsContinue reading “You’re a Momma Now”
Perfectly Shlomit
You told me horror films help you relaxSet off a flood of questions I was too afraid to ask So I held my tongue, you tiptoed then plunged Through childhood memories Moved from Jung to love to artA miracle, a mystery And when you speak of mysticism Those slippery words ring true It’s the onlyContinue reading “Perfectly Shlomit”
Tamar
You sparked a heat wave That snapped when you came homeEvery time I held youI was petrified I’d break your bones Your momma moved the earth and seasTo bring you hereAnd with the greatest loveCome the deepest shades of fear The labor lastedAn eternity, maybe more But ‘eternity’, ‘infinity’Those words just don’t mean what theyContinue reading “Tamar”
The Same Thing
The rise and fall of your chest The wax and wane of the moonThe ebb and flow of the tide January melting into JuneThe swell of the stringsIt’s all the same thing The glint in your eyesThe glimmer of the lakeThe winking of the stars The memories that we make The shine of my weddingContinue reading “The Same Thing”
Over My Dead Body
“Over my dead body,” you said But for years now your body’s been deadYour lips and your hips and your hands They don’t work like they used to “I’m sorry, I don’t love you no more”“The kids know, the rings in the drawer”A slap, then a laugh, then the wrath Then the sarcastic thank you’sContinue reading “Over My Dead Body”
Little One
Little one, the morning sun Is breaking through those heavy clouds Little one, is that where you’re from?Why did you choose us, why did you choose now? Little one, there’s no practice runFor showing you the ropes Little one, you’ll crawl, walk, then run Tripping on those ticking tropes Together We will measureWistful whims andContinue reading “Little One”
Somewhere
SomewhereThe swing set creeksA ghost or a breeze?Blind bats whisper up above And the woodsBreathe with lifeWatch passersbySurrender their worries to its love Hurricane Floods the streetsThe world bleedsLife seeps into the gutters Where children swimCatch butterfliesChase fireflies‘Till morning cracks the shutters To a world Where bandaids failWhere pain prevails We search and we search for that place Continue reading “Somewhere”
Shibboleth
Every evening—same thingTire swing, earphones inHalfhearted scrolling Thinking bout something.. Something like a getaway Magic trick, great escapeOpen sunroof, freewayHollywood escapade Or maybe the oppositeBlending in, perfect fit Cozy clique, tight-nitSleepover gossip Never say the right thing On the outside looking inWrong wavelength, bad wiringToo quiet, desperate, too everything Yesterday you overheardGirls studying a vocabContinue reading “Shibboleth”
Imposter
I’m not the best person I can be That much I can pretty much guarantee I spend too much time trapped in my own headWhere my selfish hopes and daunting dreams are fed I’m not good at keeping in touch with friendsAnd even worse at budgeting the money I spend Parrot all the talking pointsContinue reading “Imposter”
