Maya Garza Poems

Smile(d) big for the love(d) of my life.
Seeing is deceiving.

6/5/09
...

Am I the apple of your eye?
Or the core of your heart?
Perhaps the maggots in the compost under the sink.
I do not know,
...

I dreamt of you last night,
a vivid, whirling pool of emotion.
I asked you if you hated me,
we were laying on the grass,
...

Must it have been so?
It's what I'd like to know,
Before the first snow,
Then I needn't let it show.
...

Why did you pick me?

The flaw in your
person;
...

I dreamt of you past nights,
the worst whirlpool of emotion.
I was at the center,
I ordered food,
...

'We dance to the same groove, but I got the right move.'
& I know you know it.
Feel complete?
Drunken stupor, nights in bed, grocery work the next morning.
...

Mill,
Milling about.
I want to know where they're all headed
from my discreet latte'd perch.
...

Would that I could banish you from my mind.
For you've done no wrong, and I am afraid that I will.
You.
You've been all love, and
...

The blank page.
It calls out to me,
wondering why things happened the way they did,
or for what reason.
...
