"It is with great pleasure that I recommend my daughter to you"
Born beautiful, the ribbon to
tie a broken heart.
She grew inside a coconut tree,
laboratory, backyard pinball machine,
built in the spirit of sincerity.
Secrets on her fingers, washed away
in innocence, and the promise of becoming
something different.
We all have our secret places to hide,
she was mine.
Love embodied, my heart embodied,
difficult, creative, glowing, exploding.
star! daughter! star! mother! star! grandmother!
! the favored miracle of chance!
Wheels of a white car squash the bones of my keens,
an after effect of puppy love, tears down the drain
of a bathtub. The accidental almost death of me.
Pencil, scratching the surface
of sentiment, five years, still no letter,
only to be sent in serendipity.
in the closet, hiding, a child, now romantic
chemicals have become her, her streaming
heart impatient for companionship, her desire
to achieve, her fast mind finds the truth in verbal slips.
Born imperfect, the ribbon to tie a broken heart.
"and I thank you, for all you have given to me."
