Dumbstruck (a poem)

Dumbstruck

written March 18th, 2011

My stomach twists

But I'm not sick

I clench my hands into fists

But I'm not angry

My heart hammers in my chest

But I'm not running

My mind is racing

But I'm not taking a test

I feel like I can fly

But I don't have wings

I want to sing

But I can barely speak

You just walked by me

And smiled

*Catfish (a poem)

Catfish

Little tiny girl

With bright light

Captured in her shiny curls

Peering into a bucket of water

At the catfish her dad plans to slaughter

He was putting up a fight

When first caught

But now at the bottom lay still

His only movement the flickering of a gill

Knowing that far from sight

Is the freedom he sought.
