To My Ex-Husband: I Was Fluent in What Failed Us

I missed the window of my telling
you who you are. My greatest
talent, f*cked too thin to mend,
or maim when it mattered most.

I’m not mad anymore, just sifting
through the wreckage of my gift—
this heft of language, all I ever said,
only salve on hand to save us, too often 
out of stock.

Words flawless on paper, I fell

Fluent In the Language of Silence

Fluent in the language of silence
Where the moon talks about her fears
On an empty dark night without stars
to keep her company surrounded by dark shrouds 

And yet the sun shows me different ways
To wrap gifts in his soft and warm rays
And in that moment I tie ribbon’s with my eyes
Those unspoken gifts I see in

Fluent Water Flows-

Water flows wrapping around the ground and goes
 fluent feeling crevices and gaps- when it rains it pours until it evaporates~

Fluent In Crying

I have to admit
The school where I work
Needs everyone to be
Able to speak Spanish.
Because the parents do.
We are an 82 percent
Spanish-speaking community.
I’ve taken Spanish 4 times.
And I have failed Spanish 4 times.
I have no idea why the
Verb comes first, and I cannot
get around Subject verb predicate.
Probably because of a very
nasty, mean 7th grade
English teacher who
told

Fluent

It’s nice to be fluent
In more than one tongue,
So you can converse
When you are among

People from places
You’d like to go
And ask them whatever
You need to know.

But what I’d prefer
(This might make you laugh)
Is the version of fluent
That starts with af-.

Fluent

Speak to me
Nimble word-master,
Construct the images
You wish me to possess.
Be fluent in your authority
To command my thoughts,
Motivate this mortal
With your perpetual souvenirs.

Present deliberate challenges,
Enticing and fascinating,
So I may be authored
By your wisdom.
Expose your riches
In stirring tones;
No matter the cost,
I will pay.

Such is your ability
To heighten my experience,
Dear poet,
Dismaying in tremendous form
And awful honesty,
Until I have
