POEM A DAY 2019

merged

let's lace our letters together
zigzagged through time
a love story told
on m&m wrappers
and photocopies
tied together with a string
plucked from the sidewalk
it had merged with

Ochsner Primary Care Center

 EARLY DETECTION
stay vigilant, stay a
sentry of rumbles
guard at the border of every
twist, every twinge
betrayal is common
and can be deadly.

WAITING ROOM
what did you look like
when you were well?
are you well now?
am i overreacting?

PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANT
a woman in blue comes out
to call Mr. Sims.
she is wearing a tiara.
her arms and legs push
push at, against the blue
nestle and slide across eachother
she is loving the swell of her body.
