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)

Sweeter than Baked Goods

most don’t write for me

it must be a blue moon day

and i am so blessed

No Spades Here

cards always unite

no matter the game’s language

laughter translates all
