Ms. Greene
Handed me tightly wrapped Chinese candy
And Starburst occasionally
A little girl
Fresh out of Haiti
Bullied
Teased, punched and kicked
Scared and scarred
Yet well mannered
Blue she wore “going on a date?
Ms. Greene giggles and smiled

And it will be the full moons
We will pick up as much as we choose
With the scarlet spoon

The Surety of Love
Would you march in haste
A mountains tapering side
Or defy the abyss of an oceans
Infuriated tide,
And to exist for I only
When affairs volunteer so rough
Then I’d believe it’s true to state
That this is surely LOVE…………………

Gather and share
In the field of rosiness.
Together, they are
Composed, well organized.
Each one partaking in blind optimism.
Knowing truly, that
The odds prevail.
Uneasy
My eyes penetrate
The bleached and waxen folds
Of my buttoned-up,...
