with one child sick
and flakes falling just enough,
we’ll win a snow day
oh, Snow Day Goddess:
please help this teacher-mother
take a snowy breath
poetry
Denver’s Happy Blues
city, oh city
from sunrise to blue skies, love:
always beautiful
But We Talked
because of my pup
(and i already love him)
this was a hard week
Th-th-thank You
the mid-winter blues:
sometimes words stick in our teeth
unspittable pith
but i will teach them
the ‘t-h’ intricacies
of learning English
i will not give up
’cause they’ve crossed every border
to learn love’s language
La Bestia Beckons
we will never know
how sketchy the ride will be
until we arrive
Morose Monday
when we feel like this
we need our pets to save us
as only they can
Frost in my Face
just what i needed:
a bluebird ski day Sunday
(for slopes are my church)
Cocinando Hondureño
my first tortillas:
will they erase racism
that followed him here?
Getting through Friday
found some smiles here
(a girl who can draw; not hear)
i’ll leave this love here
Shut Your Ego
all you need to know:
we legally have this kid
(it’s not your business)
