corazón

she paints her face

throwing knives at cutting boards

for the little creatures

she attacks dirt grease cobwebs until very late at night when the narcissistic monster comes home

demanding of her

the heart of a fighter she

billows her skirt

shows her teeth

moms

saturday night 

almost moms day

six pack of tacos to go 

on northgate we froze

cars collided

 BLAM! 

one stepped out behind 

an air bag

arm sliced 

i gave my shirt

4 a tourniquet

everyone thinking 

about moms how

we wouldn’t even be here 

without them

#katyamills

navel (gaze)

contemplative 

2 the tune of a minor threat horn section

stopping traffic

they relived the days they 

were inseparable

#katyamills

suns #1,2,3

my three
suns
gravitational
pull

lets me love them
love them
full

they move me
from what any
measure

i cry
ice fields
encircle
belly

i want the best
empathic
jelly

image

light the way
my midnight blue
baby boy sun #1

centrifugal devils
chasing sun #2
leave him be!
i beseech you

the third is galaxies
away

come home
my sweets
each night
i pray
