Poems
Jan 2019
she hesitates
she hesitates
which always makes her late
reads worn out books at night
with quizzical looks she finds
she writes poetry
all titled please help me
while humming foreign tunes
she rhymes black inked in blue
she's good at giving gifts
to those less fortunate
to which she receives the most
because that's all she knows
again she hesitates
with things she'd like to say
because she knows it's best
when things are left unsaid
she breathes sighs of relief
it's how she was taught to breathe
while raising her left hand
a right she feels she has
that hand she wears a broken watch
which says more than enough
inside its slient tic
is where her time is kept
when she speaks of relationships
it's a smorgasbord of hit and miss
held out like an apology
a secret that she keeps
she'd like to be a star
in a galaxy far from ours
and maybe then one day
she won't hesitate
